Man sköts under känd rappares konsert i USA

En man skottskadades när rapparen Lil Baby uppträdde inför 19 000 personer i amerikanska Memphis på torsdagen, rapporterar NME.

Konserten avbröts och arenan evakuerades efter händelsen. Den skottskadade mannen fördes till sjukhus, men uppges inte vara livshotande skadad.

På X, tidigare Twitter, skriver Lil Baby att han ska se till att konsertbesökarna får biljettpengarna tillbaka.

Gärningsmannen är inte identifierad, men polisen misstänker att skjutningen var planerad. De utreder nu hur vapnet kunde missas vid väskkontrollen i entrén.

Lil Baby har toppat Billboard-listan och både vunnit och nominerats till Grammys.

Dominique Armani Jones (born December 3, 1994), known professionally as Lil Baby, is an American rapper. He rose to mainstream fame in 2017 following the release of his mixtape Perfect Timing. His debut studio album, Harder Than Ever (2018), spawned the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 single "Yes Indeed" (with Drake). He later released mixtapes Drip Harder (with Gunna), which contained the Billboard Hot 100 top-five single "Drip Too Hard" and Street Gossip, which reached number two on the US Billboard 200. Lil Baby's sophomore album My Turn (2020) topped the Billboard 200, was certified triple-platinum by the RIAA, and became the best-selling album of 2020. The album spawned the singles, "We Paid" (with 42 Dugg) and "The Bigger Picture", both of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the latter of which received two Grammy nominations at the 2021 Grammy Awards. The following year, he released the collaborative album The Voice of the Heroes with rapper Lil Durk and won the Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance for his performance on the song "Hurricane" with Kanye West and The Weeknd. Lil Baby's third album It's Only Me became his third consecutive number-one album. In addition to his Grammy Award, Lil Baby has received an MTV Video Music Award, and two BET Awards, and was crowned the biggest all-genre Artist of the Year at the Apple Music Awards 2020.
