Zeethewizard and four others were reportedly injured at the grand opening of a new strip club in his home state of Texas last week.
Last week, up-and-coming rapper Zeethewizard was shot at the grand opening of a new strip club in his home state of Texas, Pinkhouse Dallas. Shortly after the shooting, it was reported that the 25-year-old was in the hospital in critical condition. One of his friends, Montana 700, even took to social media this week to shut down some rumors.
“Thank you to everyone,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “We appreciate the love yall got for Zee [mending heart emoji]. There has been misinformation floating around; as of now, Zee is still fighting. [Praying hands emoji]’n that he bounce back and fully recover. Keep him in your prayers. TheWiz [wizard emoji].”
Now, however, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. CBS News reports that Zeethewizard has succumbed to his injuries.
According to police, four other victims were transported to the hospital following the shooting. At the time of writing, their conditions have not been made public. BigXthaPlug also attended the opening of Pinkhouse Dallas and had an emotional reaction to news of Zeethewizard’s injuries.
Dallas police are still investigating the tragic incident, and for now, no suspects have been identified. A motive has also not been disclosed.
