Skilla Baby Injured In Alleged Targeted Drive-By Shooting
Skilla Baby sustained injuries after a drive-by shooting caused him to crash his vehicle into a building. According to TMZ, investigators believe the rapper is the victim of a 'targeted attempt on his life.' The 26-year-old, whose real name is Trevon Gardner, was driving through his hometown of Detroit when the shooting occurred.
The tabloid reported the 'Icky Vicky Vibes' performer was alone while cruising through 8 Mile and Beech Daly on Thursday evening (May 22). Lead investigator Edward French informed the tabloid that the unknown suspect pulled up next to Skilla Baby's vehicle and fired roughly 25 rounds. The bullets caused the rapper to swerve and crash into a building, which had to be boarded up due to the damage.
The shooter fled the scene; however, a witness transported the musician to the hospital and called law enforcement. Skilla Baby was reportedly shot in the hand, grazed twice in the head and back, and suffered a thigh injury. According to TMZ, French claimed the God's Favorite rapper was doing well and shared a message of gratitude for the support from his fans.
In a video shared to Instagram by Metro, a black Tahoe truck is shown lodged into a building. Police are also seen on the scene, marking bullet casings on the ground.
The rapper's most recent full project is Crack Music 3, which was issued in November 2024.
'Detroit is gritty but small. Everyone either wants to rap, hoop, or play sports,' detailed Skilla Baby of the Motor City last year with AllHipHop. 'I slept on Eminem for a while, but man, he's one of the greatest. Detroit's always had talent—Motown, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Big Sean, and so many more. People overlook us, but we're coming strong now. Detroit versus everybody!'

Meet the Kardashians' plastic surgeons responsible for Kris Jenner's new face and Kylie's 'teardrop' breasts
Kylie Jenner recently shared details of her breast augmentation, including her surgeon. Kris Jenner also confirmed her plastic surgeon, speculated to be the one behind her facelift. Dr. Garth Fisher and Dr. Steven Levine are their plastic surgeons with cutting-edge techniques. While most celebrities stay tight-lipped about their plastic surgeons, Kylie Jenner surprised fans by doing the opposite: listing exactly what she got done, down to her implant size and plastic surgeon. It all started when TikToker Rachel Leary posted a video asking Kylie to share details of her surgery. "Please, can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?" Leary said. "It's the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever." About a day later, Jenner, 27, responded. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment. The Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to plastic surgery, or to public speculation about what they got done. But between Kylie Jenner's TikTok comment and Kris Jenner recently confirming her plastic surgeon, the family is becoming a little more open about the men behind the facelifts. Dr. Garth Fisher, Kylie's surgeon, is known for 'teardrop' breasts Dr. Garth Fisher, a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has been the go-to plastic surgeon of half the KarJenners for years. He's been practicing for over 20 years. Known for his breast augmentation technique (which favors a more natural-looking teardrop shape over a circular look), he performed the surgery for both Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian. Fisher is popular for his trademarked "pinnacle facelift," a more customized and minimally invasive facelift that avoids skin looking too pulled-back or pinched. Prior to her viral facelift, Kris Jenner got a pinnacle facelift from Fisher. He also revised a facelift for Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition, which was shown in an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Fisher has appeared on "ABC's Extreme Makeover" and has been ranked as one of America's top doctors by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company. Dr. Steven Levine was behind Kris Jenner's viral facelift View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) Kris Jenner, 69, is a client of Dr. Steven M. Levine, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon who does everything from eyelid lifts to breast implants. He opened his private practice in 2019; a year later, during the pandemic, he was so in demand that some clients offered to pay double or let him stay in their Hamptons home for a month, according to PEOPLE. While Jenner has been less open than her daughter about the exact procedures she's undergone, some speculate that she had a deep-plane facelift, where a layer of connective tissue between the skin and facial muscles is lifted to provide a more drastic, longer-lasting outcome. While it's unknown how much Jenner paid, Levine told PEOPLE back in 2020 that his facial work starts at $45,000. Levine has been ranked as one of the top doctors in the NYC area. New York Magazine also named him one of the top doctors for several years in a row. The Kardashians have had mixed plastic surgery experiences The Kardashians haven't always raved about their surgeons' work. Some regret past plastic surgery. In a 2023 episode of " The Kardashians," Kylie Jenner said she regretted getting a boob job when she was 19, months before her daughter Stormi was born. She thought she looked "perfect" before and wished she "never got them done to begin with." The KarJenners being more forthcoming about their plastic surgery could be a sign that they're happier with the results. Or, as The Cut speculated, they could be launching a plastic surgery-related venture. "Dr. Levine works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder," Carol Lee, a beauty writer, wrote. "If you know anything about the Kardashians, it's that everything they do is strategic — nothing is an accident."
