A 50 Cent and Tekashi69 music video collaboration was interrupted by gunfire in the direct vicinity of the venue in Brooklyn, reported TMZ. According to the witnesses interviewed by the media outlet, on August 14 at around 10:30 p.m. a person in a white Porsche with New Jersey license plates fired 11 9mm rounds from a semi-automatic weapon. Neither of the rappers or film crew was hurt as the shots were fired in another direction.

Others hinted that it was not particularly surprising considering many rappers had ties to the criminal world.
