Both TMZ.com and Fox affiliate WCNC report Waka’s bus sustained at least four shots after two cars pulled up next to the tour bus and began shooting. Waka—real name Joaquin Malphurs—was reportedly getting a stereo installed on his tour bus when the men shot at the bus and the electronics store performing the installation.

In January of 2010, Waka Flocka Flame sustained a gunshot wound to the arm after being involved in a scuffle at an Atlanta-area carwash. The incident was reportedly caused by someone attempting to steal the rapper’s jewelry.
