MIAMI, FL. (THECOUNT) — The vehicle of rapper Young Thug and a pair of party buses filled with his entourage were targeted in a shooting early Friday morning in Miami, according to multiple witnesses.
Miami PD says, three individuals were injured as Thug operated a Ferrari alongside the 2 buses on I-95 in Miami around 6 a.m. Friday morning.

According to TMZ, someone pulled up next to them and opened fire. Law enforcement sources say 2 men and a woman who were on the buses were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
Young Thug was not hit. While the witnesses say the rapper was on the scene when the bullets flew … sources close to him say he had left the party an hour earlier.
It appears the whole group was on the way to the Miami Beach Hotel before the shooting went down. Young Thug had performed at LIV Nightclub Thursday night. He’s scheduled to perform again Saturday at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami.
The investigation into the shooting remains open.
We reported last week that Thugger Thug passed the preverbal torch publicly saying he thinks Machine Gun Kelly “lyrically murdered” Eminem.
Eminem, with 27 years in the rap game, may have lost a cred-step after Thugger said he thinks Kelly “defeated” the Detroit rapper in rap combat.
In a video Thug, aka 27-year-old Jeffery Lamar Williams, posted an IG Sunday night (May 5), we can see Machine Gun Kelly behind some turntables handling DJ duties with a big claim from Thug floating over the visual as overlaid text. “THE ONE GUY THAT MURDERED “M,”” reads the Thugger quote.
