| Troy Ave didn't escape the Grinch who tried to take his life. |
While on his way to his family's house to celebrate Christmas, rapper Troy Ave was ambushed by a gunman. The rapper and his wife were injured by the attack.
According to early reports, Troy Ave, real name Roland Collins, was shot twice while on his way to see his family in Brooklyn for Christmas. A lawyer for the rapper says his injuries are not life-threatening and that he drove himself to an area hospital for immediate treatment.
A tweet from the New York City Alerts account reports Collins was shot in the arm and grazed in the head while driving his Maserati in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn around 5 PM tonight.
Troy Ave's second brush with death this year. The rapper was at the center of the now infamous Irving Plaza concert shooting in May that saw one person dead and several injured. Troy reportedly shot himself in the leg during all the chaos and was charged with one count of attempted second-degree murder and four counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

He is currently on shackle after posting a nearly $1 million get out of jail free card. He faces that second-degree attempted murder trial next year.
Troy Ave is innocent until proven guilty.
It's unfortunate that even on Christmas, gun violence continues to happen.
There's no such thing as unity. The junk food media always promote Martin Luther King Day, Independence Day, 9/11, Thanksgiving and Christmas are symbolic days of unity. When in reality, its just another day where someone else loses their life to senseless violence.
