Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, and more will be seen in the upcoming video to a new Rozay song called "Buy Back the Block." It seems like Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz will be a part of the song, and it's unclear if the other artists (namely Meek) will feature as well or if they will just be included in the video, which was shot last night in front (and on top) of a gas station on the notorious Cleveland Ave in Atlanta. The voice of 2 Chainz can be heard during the opening moments of a preview of the video that was just shared on Rozay's Instagram. Also in the preview, one can spot 21 Savage, Lotto Savage, and No Plug, the rapper who admitted to killing Bankroll Fresh (in self-defense). 

While on set, Meek Mill was also seen enjoying one of his favorite hobbies -- riding around the hood on an ATV. 21 Savage is seated behind him, holding on for dear life as Meek kicks it into full-throttle. 

Though Ross' flurry of IG pics today suggests he was able to get plenty of footage for the "Buy Back the Block" video, it has been reported that gunshots were fired while he, Gucci, Chainz, and Meek were being filmed on top of the gas station. In the (grainy) video below, the four rappers can be seen standing around on the rooftop when suddenly one can hear the shots ring out. All of the rappers immediately duck and hit the ground as they hear gunfire. 

A couple of bystanders recorded the scene after the shooting when police had arrived. It appears like the aforementioned rappers remained on the rooftop while police were clearing the area. 

As of now, it doesn't seem like anyone was hit by the gunfire. The "Buy Back the Block" video is still on the way.
