Rapper Fabolous was shot early this morning (Oct. 17) as he left Justin's, a popular New York eatery owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs. A man with a gun approached the Brooklyn-bred rapper, whose real name is John Jackson, and shot him once in the thigh as he departed restaurant. After he was wounded, the rapper and four others tried to rush to the hospital but were stopped by the police, who allegedly found a pair of firearms in the vehicle. All of the men were arrested, according to published reports. At press time, he was in stable condition at a New York hospital.
Wow, shot and arrested on the same day? Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. The sad part is that this should do wonders for Fabolous' always-shaky street cred
