AAB Hallabandz was shot and killed Rolling Loud weekend in Miami. Young Thug's entourage was fired upon. (Although he denies he was the target). NBA YoungBoy was involved in a gunfight which sent his girlfriend to the hospital and killed an innocent bystander.
Now police are investigating whether the incidents are related.
“It is all something we are investigating, but it is too early to tell,” Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez said Monday, adding all the agencies involved in the incidents are comparing notes.
In addition to that violence, Kodak Black and Jay Da Youngan were arrested on weapons charges shortly before their Rolling Loud sets and Key Glock after. Lil Wayne decided not to perform, citing the ramped up police presence.
Rolling Loud initially pushed back on the notion that the violence and arrests marred the festival.
“IF YOU DIDN’T ENJOY ROLLING LOUD DESPITE THE HICCUPS, STAY HOME NEXT YEAR...THIS IS HIP-HOP," read a Tweet on the Rolling Loud page.
Shortly after that Tweet appeared, Rolling Loud's Twitter account was suspended.
