Rapper Fabolous was shot in the leg early this morning in a New York parking garage when an identified man approached and opened fire on him and three of his friends after they had left Justin’s restaurant. Fabolous was hit in the thigh before he and his friends sped away in their car, running a red and attracting the attention of police who were responding to calls that shots had been fired. The car was stopped and everybody was arrested when they found two unlicensed loaded guns in the car.
Why is everybody’s life more exciting than mine? Sure, I spent the morning shooting at henchman as I skied down a mountain using the door of the Nazi chemical plant I blew up, but I’ve never ran a red. That shit sounds hardcore.

Occupational hazard at its best.
UNWASHEDMASSES | October 17, 2006 at 10:37 am
It was a hit team hired by the letter U. Seriously, another rapper gets shot? How’s that news? Keep supporting these scumbags and the talentless drivel they shit out, white America. They love you for it.
Leyna | October 17, 2006 at 10:37 am
just another pathetic example of rappers thinking that the world revolves around their drama. Who really cares?
barryjc | October 17, 2006 at 10:37 am
ha stupid fucker
Leyna | October 17, 2006 at 10:38 am

JB Fletcher | October 17, 2006 at 10:40 am
big deal.
who is he anyway?
RockyMtnHigh | October 17, 2006 at 10:44 am
That’s what he gets for being named Fabolous. Moron.
ApacheRose | October 17, 2006 at 10:44 am
Who? And why should I care?
Ed Bambrick | October 17, 2006 at 10:45 am
Fabolous can’t even spell his own name right. He must be reported, found & exterminated.
Antonio | October 17, 2006 at 10:49 am
He is innocent. The rapper being targeted was actually Fantastik. Poor guy.
Xopher.tm | October 17, 2006 at 10:56 am
The lack of comments here, plus the fact that I was actually able to tag First tend to indicate that no one on the Fish knows or gives a shit who this punk is.
RichPort | October 17, 2006 at 10:56 am
You all know Fabolus? even those of you who claim to hate rap. You?ve been to more than one party where his songs have at least been background music. This is the rap voice you hear on many R&B/ rap collaborations, very slow and monotone, with sometimes witty (though usually rehashed) rhymes. He became popular when most emcees began rhyming entire phrases at the end of sentences instead of just words, weaving stories of gangsterism and flamboyance with a penchant for lady-friendly lyrics, unlike most rappers. He spends a good deal of money on football jerseys and white sneakers, and surprisingly, has made quite a bit.
Of course all that means that he should have just been fucking shot sooner, and the fucker who did shoot him should be fucking shot for being a poor shot. Shoot…
jrzmommy | October 17, 2006 at 10:56 am
I wonder why CC DeVille never tried to shoot Vince Neil, or the dudes from Cinderella never tried to kill the dudes from RATT? I wish the hairband guys had some sort of warfare back in the 80s like these rappers, but alas……Tommy Lee and Sebastian Bach are still alive now aren’t they?
losenord | October 17, 2006 at 10:59 am
Hehe… I actually kind of like it. He did A shot in the leg, that’s like, nothing. But all these rapper guys, what the hell is the matter with them. I mean, he probably deserved it.
BastardotheGreat | October 17, 2006 at 11:14 am
People, how can you be so uncaring. This innocent person did not deserve to get shot by a complete stranger. He is just trying to live his life as best he can, mindin’ his own business and BAMMM!! MY EFFIN LEG!!!
ApacheRose | October 17, 2006 at 11:17 am
@14–
That would have been fucking awesome, though I think they could have just made bombs out of all the Aqua-Net cans they must have had around.
jrzmommy | October 17, 2006 at 11:19 am
Hey,I’ve seen his videos…..they’re always grainy and black and white and…..shot at a weird angle….like surveillance tapes…..hmmmmmm…….I know that guy.
sharkbite | October 17, 2006 at 11:24 am
Ahh, and Fabolous can now put out an album with fourteen tracks about getting shot.

Street cred… it’s only a bullet away…
Triumph Insult Dog | October 17, 2006 at 11:33 am
One Question: Why is everybody in the Rap game so STUPID?!
Forget about being shot, in this world, that’s a prerequisite. But does your entourage have to have “unlicensed guns”??
What, are they cheaper? You can’t wait 7 days for clean ones? Stupid, stupid, stupid!
They caught you ridin’ dirty, fool!

leyna—if you take time to post on the topic, then YOU care. you took time out of your life today at 10:37AM to post and then you did a blank post at 10:38AM. was it blank because your hands were busy? one clutching an autograph photo of fabolous and the other rammed violently in and out of your soggy poon as you screamed his name in ecstacy. yeah, i believe you don’t care.
richport—a thigh shot….i think that’s only partial credit. kinda like getting shot in the ass.
sonya | October 17, 2006 at 11:45 am
Anyone who wears their hats sideways deserves to be shot. Hope I’m not being too harsh. Cheers.

Is he Jewish?

jrzmommy | October 17, 2006 at 12:05 pm
The headline should read FABULOUS SHOT!!! LIke the old joke about Mayor Wilson Goode…..what would the Philadelphia Inquirer’s headline be if Wilson Goode was assassinated? “GOOD(E) SHOT!”
Brain Embolism | October 17, 2006 at 12:15 pm
@21 Triumph – “They caught you ridin’ dirty, fool!”
I like that. You must really be black.
@23 – sonya, glad you could make it.
RichPort | October 17, 2006 at 12:15 pm
I always thought “fabulous” was something gay guys said to each other when responding in the affirmative.
#22 – Agreed.
jrzmommy | October 17, 2006 at 12:28 pm
26–Maybe Triumph is a cowboy and “dirty” is cowboy talk for without a saddle? Or with spurs? And the people who shot him are PETA cowboys and they shot him because riding bareback on a horsey or with spurs on hurts their horse spines. Maybe. Or maybe I need to go back to see that nice quiet man who gave me the paper to get the yellow pills again.
justme | October 17, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Look at Africa.. These subhumans weren’t meant to live in a civilized world.. Why did we ever pluck them from the trees.. I’ll never know..
RichPort | October 17, 2006 at 4:57 pm
#29 – I know what you mean, I feel the same way about Neanderthal fucks, especially the neocon kind. I see your point, but that’s just me.
G | October 17, 2006 at 5:54 pm
He and Fabio should team up.
keeping it real | October 18, 2006 at 1:35 am
There are alot of generic gangster rappers out there and I can’t blame anyone for hating.
but fabolous has some good lines, nothing provacative but rather clever. there are 49 other rappers i’d rather get shot.
Gryffydd | October 18, 2006 at 7:20 am
What I’d like to know is how they “opened fire” on him and only managed to hit him in the leg. Must have been another rapper. Amateurs.
Cruzadas | October 18, 2006 at 7:47 am
Black people….let them kill themselves alone
JackUup | October 18, 2006 at 3:58 pm
OK…#29(justme),30(RichPort) and 34(Cruzadas)
Why is it that when one black person does something…the ENTIRE Black race is mentioned.
DUDE.. hey..why dont i do that with White People.
Paris Hilton is a WHORE from hell…well I guess ALL white women are WHORES…
Jeffrey Dahmer was a crazy white dude who ATE people..so I GUESS I should never go to a white persons house to eat..
who else…
Ted Kaczynski the Unabombmer … was a College professor..so I GUESS we should look at all white professors kind of sideways..
OH YEAH… CANT FORGET that crazy dude who likes to molest and KILL innocent Amish Girls…. Charles Carl Roberts IV…I guess we should just BE VERY AFRAID OF ALL WHITE MEN…
Shut up and get off your high horse…
Get over your superiority complex…ITS ONLY A COMPLEX… not a reality.
laughingme | October 18, 2006 at 5:57 pm
Thank you #35! It is ridiculous that when a black person does something wrong, the WHOLE RACE is bashed and put in the same catgory – this shit aint right. RichPort and Justme… you two are sick! Why does it have to be a RACE thing… and you wonder why people get offended – you would too if you were constantly blamed for the wrong doings of EVERY WHITE MAN (or whatever you are) – and believe me, they do a lot of crime too including thieving, raping, shooting, killing, fraudulent activities and the list goes on…

i don’t really care about this thug getting shot at all
Jillian | August 29, 2010 at 8:46 am
I think he is an ASSHOLE!!! He deserved to get shot because he is a punk ass bitch!!!! He thinks beating on women is alright, him and Chris Brown would get along great. What if a man slapped his mother around? What goes around comes around, karma is a bitch and he got a little taste of it!!
