Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave has left the hospital after being wounded in an ambush shooting on Christmas Day — but not before being visited by friend and fellow rapper 50 Cent.
Police said Troy Ave, whose birth name is Roland Collins, was shot as he stopped at a red light in his car on Linden Boulevard at East 91st Street in East Flatbush at about 4:20 p.m. Sunday, according to NBC. The shooter then approached the vehicle and fired before fleeing on foot.
“Tonight, Troy Ave was targeted again… on Christmas,” Scott Leemon, an attorney for the rapper, said in a statement obtained by Billboard.
