Move along, people! There’s nothing to see at Lil Wayne’s house!
No matter what previous reports indicated.
Earlier today, word spread online that four people had been shot at the rapper’s residence in Florida.
The artist was not at home at the time of the alleged incident, during which police set up a perimeter just to be safe. But it turned out that no intruders were present either.
It was all a hoax.
Tweeted the Miami Beach Police Department in response to the
"MBPD handles all calls of this nature in a serious manner . In this case it appears to have be a hoax @ #LiLWaynes home . #Swatting."
Ah, yes, swatting.
This trend – of idiots calling 911 and pretending as if a crime is being committed at a famous person’s house – was all the rage in 2013.
Khloe Kardashian was swatted. Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake… heck, the White House! All were swatted at one time or another.
“#UPDATE unfortunately this appears to be a "Swatting" call. No victims /no injuries /no subject at 94 LaGorce,” added the Miami police Twitter account.
Due to Lil Wayne’s history of crime, along with his history of feuding with various artists, you’ll understand if THG fell for this initial report.
