Lil Baby's concert in Alabama was shot up on Saturday night, which reportedly left one person injured. He was performing at the Bill Harris Arena in Birmingham, when a shooting broke out inside the venue that led the artist to flee the stage. According to a local Alabama news source, the victim was taken to UAB Hospital for treatment with critical injuries.

Police reportedly descended onto the arena at approximately 10:00pm. Video footage captured by various concertgoers shows what appears to be a fight breaking backstage. During the altercation, a gunshot can be heard.
Lil Baby was performing his song, "My Dawg" off his 2017 mixtape, Harder Than Hard: Gangster Grillz when the incident occurred. He promptly fled the scene as audience members scattered, bringing the concert to an abrupt halt. He appears to be alright, as he has updated his Instagram stories since the time of the shooting. He also posted a photo of himself posing in a convenience store with the location tagged, "Birmingham, Alabama."
"Blogs Post Anything For A Click," he wrote in the caption. "Sh*t Lame Get Off A Young N*gga Dicc." While it's possible he's referring to the reporting of the shooting, he may also be referring to the rumours that his crew jumped his fellow Quality Control artist, Offset. Lil Baby flat out denied these rumours and urged the media to stop reporting "fake news."
Ciara Twerks Onstage While Pregnant: Watch
Ciara twerked onstage during her performance at a New York Fashion Week event, less than two weeks after announcing her pregnancy.
Ms. Ciara is not letting anything stop her from twerking—not even her pregnancy. The singer took the stage at a New York Fashion Week event on Thursday, and took the opportunity to show off her knees of steel and booty-shaking skills. During a mashup of various songs like Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins‘ “Get Low” and Saweetie’s “My Type,” Ciara lined up with her backup dancers before breaking to take center stage. The soon-to-be mama of three then turned around and started twerking as the medley transitioned into her 2004 hit “Goodies.”
Decked out in a black leather outfit, Ciara can still out-twerk most, even with a bun in the oven. This twerk sesh was not the first instance that Ciara has showed off her dance moves since announcing her pregnancy, however. The expectant mother shared a video last week of herself goofing around to Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” at the Super Bowl.

She and husband, Russell Wilson, announced on January 30th that they were expecting another child. This will be their second child together, following the birth of their daughter, Sienna Princess, in April 2017. Ciara also has a 5-year-old son, Future Zahir, with her ex-fiancé Future.
