Baton Rouge rapper NBA Ben10 has reportedly been shot in Houston.

The 26-year-old (real name Ben Fields), who is a close affiliate of NBA YoungBoy, is reportedly in critical condition.

Geo News reported that Ben10 was the victim of a shooting following a police officer’s statement about a local incident.

A fight allegedly took place at Houston restaurant Confessions on April 8th, leading to two people suffering serious injuries.

Speaking to reporters, Lieutenant R Wilkins said, “Right now, this is a shooting, we got two victims. One’s been shot multiple times in the torso, probably in his late 20s. Another one has been shot in the extremities, in the lower extremities, and also all throughout his arms and everything, several times. He’s probably in his mid-20s. They’re both transported to local hospitals right now. They’re both in very critical conditions.”

He continued, “So, what we know right now is our suspect, was at this location, and had a confrontation with a couple of guys. It appears from what they were doing was that they were trying to take his chains. We don’t know if they knew him or what that was, but it appears possible they knew this guy. And they were in the process of trying to rip his chains off.”

Wilkins claimed that the incident went on for around 30 to 60 seconds, which saw two men tussling with him.

“[They] actually got him to the ground and appears [that they] probably got his chains off,” he said. “Right after that, another fella jumps in, and several other people jump in as well, along with these other guys, and they start having a fist fight. They’re beating this guy pretty bad. They got him on the ground, and they’re beating him pretty good.”

As of April 9th, YoungBoy has yet to comment on the incident.
