However, police are now blaming the 38-year-old for what transpired. Miami Gardens Police Chief, Delma Noel-Pratt says event organizers didn&#8217;t obtain the necessary permits. This is reportedly a violation of city policy. 



&#8220;If the necessary agencies were notified ahead of time and protocol followed, police officers would have been in place to safeguard the community and assist with deterring and responding, if needed, to any situation that may arise,&#8221; says Noel-Pratt.



Furthermore, footage obtained by <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/401628-former-tmz-host-van-lathan-wants-ye-to-come-on-his-higher-learning-podcast-for-closure-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TMZ</a> allegedly shows the Morocco native and others taking to a nearby KFC restaurant for cover. They reportedly stayed inside for 30-40 minutes, until cops arrived at the scene. 



On Friday (January 6), the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/434347-french-montanas-unforgettable-ft-swae-lee-is-officially-diamond-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Unforgettable&#8221;</a> rapper took to his Twitter account to make a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/618093-french-montana-issues-statement-after-miami-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>. Notably, he doesn&#8217;t mention anything about filming a music video. &#8220;Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant. We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts &amp; prayers are w/ the victims &amp; families at this time,&#8221; writes Montana.
