Southern rapper Waka Flocka Flame was reportedly shot multiple times in Georgia yesterday (January 19) during a failed robbery attempt.
According to website KarenCivil.com, which confirmed the details with the label, Waka, whose real name is Juaquin Malphurs, had made a stop at a gas station off of Old National Highway in College Park, Georgia, when he was injured. An unspecified number of men approached him at gunpoint and told him to hand over his chain. The So Icey rapper refused and the suspects then fired several shots in his direction hitting him twice.
Reports that he was shot in the chest have been refuted, instead at this time it is being said that bullets struck him in the upper arm/shoulder area. Sources close to the rapper are saying that the injuries are non-life threatening and that he will make a full and speedy recovery.
While known for his affiliation with Gucci Mane's So Icey Entertainment, Waka has gained a following off the strength of his street single O Let's Do It off of his 2009 Mixtape Shoot Me or Salute Me. The remix of the single features verses from southern hip-hop heavyweights Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Trae Tha Truth.
