Rapper Fabolous was shot in the Flatiron District this morning. Fabolous is now in stable condition, after being shot in the thigh, - and he's under arrest as well. WABC 7 reports that a fight had spilled out from Justin's Restaurant (which is owned by P. Didddy), and the shooting occured in a parking garage nearby. The reports have been a little confusing, but it looks like after Fabolous was shot, three of his friends put him in a car to take him to the hospital. But they ran a red light at Third Avenue and East 22nd Street, and the police pulled them over and found two unlicensed, loaded weapons. Fabolous did make it to Bellevue Hospital, as charges are pending against him and his friends.
The police are still looking for the shooter.

how about we devote a weekend to letting these rappers just kill each other already? it's what they want to do – why are we spending all this time and money trying to stop them or arrest the culprits?
and another thing... i'm so fucking sick of these stupid rap names. fabolous. with an o. because neither he nor anyone in his "posse" can fucking spell.
god, when will this rap nonsense end????
three of his friends put him in a car and to take him to the hospital
you can take the child from the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto from the child.
Let them kill themselves, they're animals anyway.
How Ignorant are you commentors
How bout we devote a week to white pedophiles?
The serious one's, the one's who goes to East Asian for sex with kids.
Not your run of the mill MySpace sicko stalker.
Fuck off you ignorant fucks your just jealous because rappers live a glamarous lifestyle that you will never experience. Dont get upset because they are everything you arent bitches
#2: Thank you. I've been saying that since he first came out.
#7: Is "Glamarous" one of "Fabolous"' proteges? With the spelling and all, I figured he'd be rapping next to "Ahsum" and "Pulchritudinous."
Oh, and for what it's worth -- if "glamarous lifestyle" means "let's get shot," then I question who's ignorant here and who's not.
i know. How "ignorant" of me to bash a culture that glorifies itself with guns & shooting each other up. How ignorant of those passers-by and people just minding their own business that get hit by stray bullets. tool.
hmm. if you're going to bash hip-hop culture for being violent, you might as well keep going. bash the troops, cops, robbers, cowboys, indians, etc.
these guys didn't produce the culture. they're a product of one that shit on them from day one.
is this type of violence completely appaling? yes. what'd you expect? a dance-off?

this "all or nothing" argument is so childish... very high school debate team. sorry, but the world isn't that black and white. the same rules don't apply to cops as they do to musicians.
"these guys didn't produce the culture. they're a product of one that shit on them from day one."
boo fucking hoo. rather than try to rise above their lot in life, they're perpetuating stereotypes because 14 year old wiggers from great neck will stop buying their cd's if they don't.
I hope it wasn't the spelling police who shot him. Gothamist will need to invest in some kevlar vests if that's the case.

LMAO!!!
How about Peyton Manning and the Colts
#12:
what rules are you talking about? i guess i didn't catch the updated musicians' rulebook.
"..rather than try to rise up above their lot in life..."
that's very after-school special of you. i suppose making millions in the record biz doesn't qualify as rising up? last time i checked, they don't offer Rocket scientist prep courses in the projects. Asking rappers to not rap about guns is like asking toby keith not to sing about whiskey.
come join us in reality dude.
and now, back to fourth period. i can't wait for recess. high school rules.
Is anyone gonna point out that Fabolous is a trick and this shooting is bullshit? Apparently, some guy dislikes him enough to runup to him at 1 A.M. when no one is there except for Fabolous and his friends and shooting him in the thigh and then RUN away. If there was real drama, I doubt the guy who shoot him in the leg. And flee on fucking foot! And, his three friends don't do anything? Just throw him in the car and drive away. Like Cam'Ron getting shot through both arms, innit it? Anything to manufacture cred.
Police are looking for Bobby Bacala.
You guys are so stupid. He obviously spelled his name w/ an O on purpose. He even pronounces it Fa-BO-lous. It's just a matter of changing the word up so it'll be a unique name. You are so intent on being hateful and ignorant that you'll overlook the most obvious things for your own idiotic gratification.
He should have gone with Mee-dee-oh-cur or Four-get-a-bull.
That's distinct enough, isn't it?
Alot of your favorite Williamsburg /Downtown/ LES ungangster Geek Emo Hipster djay's have names just as stupid as any rapper, you barneys
Ok, enough with the rap bashing guys. I know a few of you guys have some or one rap/hip-hop track you like,so stop. In any event,if LOSO-for you rap/hip-hop illiterates(haters)that's his new alias-was a regular guy out in the street it would be Daily News 3rd page. However, he is a rapper and has popularity so its a BIG DEAL...gget over it rap/hip-hop is still evovling
dont hate cause you have not even 1% of what they have you will work all your life to have nothing even close .....
I call bullshit, too, mfib...clearly...
They used to stage these fake shootings outside HOT97 until the landlord complained. Now they do it on 'hot' blocks in NYC/LA. My questions:
Did P.Diddy get a kickback for the free advertising? How much did he know in advance? Will he be investigated?
Will the gun they busted Fabolous with match the gun that shot him?
Will wiggers from greatneck flock to Justin's in droves, now? That block is B and T'd to the hilt already.
These rappers are smart; but they choose to get into thangs unneccessary tho.
If all of you people hate rap so much why take the time to comment on it? When will rap end? When you decide to turn off the radio and stop listening to it. Young people get shot everyday and you're not commenting on that. What difference does it make that he is a rapper? He's still a person.
