Waka Flocka Flame & Young Jeezy’s Entourage Fight In Atlanta

According to reports, A shoot-out between rapper Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy’s entourages took place Thursday afternoon in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to the AJC, “The fight started around 4 p.m. Thursday when Mane’s group walked into the store popular with celebrities and spotted Jeezy’s associates, said witness Patrick Morrison. “There was a physical altercation inside the location between several men,” Atlanta Police spokesman James Polite confirmed to the AJC. One of the men produced a weapon “and as a result a private armed security guard of a local entertainer discharged his weapon.”

“Numerous sources allege that Flocka was attacked by Slick Pulla, an artist signed to Young Jeezy’s Corporate Thugz Entertainment label, and member of the group USDA (United Dope Boyz of America). “Story has it that Waka Flocka and Slick Pulla have been beefing since an altercation that happened in Miami a few months ago,” explained celebrity photographer Freddy O. “Slick Pulla wanted to get it popping and that’s what he tried to do. After a tussle and fight throughout the entire Walter’s store, with customers, gunfire rang out. In the end Slick Pulla left the store while Waka was left with a bloody nose and eye.”

Eight teenage boys were shot following Waka Flacka Flame concert in Gary Indiana Friday night.

The shooting occurred in the parking lot of World of Skates in Gary, where Waka Flocka Flame, aka Juaqin Malphurs, had just performed.

The victims were taken to three hospitals, where some remained Saturday. Police say they ranged in age from 14 to 18, with wounds in the legs, wrist, stomach or back. The injuries weren't believed to be life-threatening.

The Post-Tribune newspaper reported that a “hype man” entertaining the crowd before Waka Flocka Flame took the stage pitted “East Side” versus “West Side.” That might have prompted the shooting, Cmdr. Michael Mallett told the newspaper.

“The kids have separated themselves into east and west sides,” he said. “They’ve been doing it for many years now, but it’s gotten worse, especially when you have entertainers making references to East Side vs. West Side. The youth in our community have taken it to heart.”

Someone opened fire as a group of about 200 teens waited in the parking lot for rides. One victim told police he was shot in the stomach by a black man with dreadlocks who was wearing a red hat, the newspaper reported.

Police have made no arrests in the Friday night shootings.

A day earlier, Malphurs was involved in a fight in downtown Atlanta between groups affiliated with rappers Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy. A security guard employed by Malphurs was detained. Malphurs, a member of Gucci Mane’s 1017 Brick Squad, had a swollen eye afterward.

Shots were fired during the altercation at Walter’s Clothing, but no one was hit.

In January, Malphurs was shot in the arm while washing his car on Old National Highway. Police said he was approached by armed men demanding his jewelry.
