50 Cent nor Tekashi 6ix9ine were harmed.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's at the height of his career right now. The rapper recently landed his first top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with "FEFE" which has since been included on the tracklist for Nicki Minaj's Queen album on streaming services. However, that's not the only major collaboration he has in the works. Last night, the rapper was shooting a music video with 50 Cent in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, it seems as if the video shoot was targeted by gunfire.

According to TMZ, shots were fired in the middle of Tekashi 6ix9ine and 50 Cent's video shoot last night. Witnesses claim the shots were fired from white Porsche with New Jersey license plate. The gun unloaded atleast 11 shots while Fif and 6ix9ine were in Brooklyn shooting their music video around 10:30 p.m. The shell casings indicate that the shooter possibly used a 9mm semi-automatic weapon. Thankfully, no one was injured.

Both 6ix9ine and Fif were shooting their music video at the time of the shooting. Both Casanova and Uncle Murda were also on set. According to sources close to 6ix9ine, they don't believe that he or any of the rappers were targets in the shooting. However, the police aren't so sure about that. 6ix9ine's been investigated for shootings that occurred in the past with people he was beefing with including Chief Keef and Casanova.

Police are looking through the security footage for any leads but as of now, there has yet to be anyone arrested.
