Bay Area rapper wounded in shooting at Hollywood recording studio, LAPD says
A Bay Area rapper was shot after refusing to turn over his watch during an armed robbery late Thursday inside an East Hollywood recording studio, according to police and sources. Stacey Gilton, who raps under the name "Lil Yee," suffered two gunshot wounds to the chest when an assailant interrupted the performer's recording session and demanded his watch, according to an LAPD source who requested anonymity in order to discuss an open case. Gilton was taken to an area hospital for surgery and his condition was critical but stable, the source said. An LAPD spokesman, Officer Drake Madison, said police were flagged down and directed to the scene of the shooting just after 10 p.m. Thursday in the 4500 block of Melrose Avenue. They found the victim, 32, wounded by a suspect who had "fired several rounds at the victim during an attempted robbery," Madison said in a statement.

Bhad Bhabie's off-again boyfriend was shot at an L.A. strip club. Here's what we know
Bhad Bhabie is dealing with some unfortunate drama in her life yet again. Her off-again boyfriend, Le Vaughn, was shot during a night out in Los Angeles, TMZ first reported. The rapper, who is the father of the OnlyFan models' 1-year-old daughter, was struck in the hand early Wednesday at Sam's Hofbrau strip club. Sources told the outlet that someone opened fire into the crowd after two groups 'got into an altercation while enjoying the entertainment.' The Los Angeles Police Department and emergency crews responded to the scene. Vaughn, 26, was transported to a local hospital with 'non-life-threatening injuries.' Hours later, a social media user captured a video of the Sound Cloud artist from a bed, his left hand bandaged up. Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, did not comment on the matter. On Instagram, the onetime 'Dr. Phil' guest posted a video dissing her latest nemesis, Alabama Barker, whom she accused of stealing her man a while back. Just earlier this week, two days before the shooting, the Boynton Beach native announced that she and Le Vaughn, whom she accused of assaulting her months before, had split for good. 'I'm single,' declared the 21 year old's post on X, which apparently was meant to discourage future suitors. 'An focused on my career, stay out my dm tryna shoot ya shot.' But on her Stories, Bhabie showed herself on an airplane, so it's possible she is going to visit her coparent, whom TMZ reports was discharged. The shooting suspect, who cops say escaped in a white Mercedes G-wagon, is still at large. On top of this latest incident, Bhabie is also dealing with major health issues. Right before Thanksgiving, the 'Gucci Flip Flops' singer responded to trolls saying she looked too thin, telling them she was battling some form of cancer.

Bhad Bhabie drags Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker and Kanye West into Alabama feud with fiery new diss track
Bhad Bhabie dragged Alabama Barker's famous family into their feud with new diss track, 'Ms. Whitman.' The beef between the two reached new heights on Tuesday when the 'Gucci Flip Flops' emcee dropped the song and its accompanying video, which showed her twerking on a Travis Barker look-alike. Clad in white lingerie, Bhabie, 21, danced on the drummer while taking shots at his 19-year-old daughter, who she has been feuding with since December 2024. 'Thought I wasn't gonna come back for more you dumb dirty b—h,' Bhabie began. 'Why this b—h obsessed with me? I just don't understand.' The 'Hi Bich' rapper didn't hold back on the track, accusing the influencer of having no friends, sleeping with '1000 bodies' — including her on-and-off-again boyfriend, Le Vaughn — and getting pregnant with Tyga's baby — a claim both the 'Taste' emcee, 35, and Alabama previously denied. She also dragged Alabama's dad and stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian, into the drama. Bhabie claimed the Blink-182 drummer married Kardashian despite previously being in love with one of her sisters. 'Your stepmom burnt out, why she took her sister's second hand?' Bhabie raps. Bhabie — whose real name is Danielle Bregoli — also suggested that Alabama was not close with the Kardashian-Jenner clan, rapping, 'that stanky p—y got you kicked out the Kardashian house.' Among the other insults, Bhabie made fun of Alabama's hospitalization for nicotine withdrawal, called her 'ugly with no makeup' and compared their rap careers. The song's name, 'Ms. Whitman,' is a reference to Alabama Whitman, Patricia Arquette's character in the 1993 film, 'True Romance,' who Alabama is named after. The drama between the two started as a social media back-and-forth but turned into a full-fledged rap battle last month, trading jabs on 'Over Cooked' and 'Cry Bhabie.' Bhabie first called out Alabama on Instagram, accusing the teen of stealing her baby daddy — with whom she shares 11-month-old daughter Kali Love. Although Alabama claimed that Vaughn pursued her — not the other way around — there's clearly still bad blood between the two. 'Keep my baby daddy name out yo' f—kin' mouth 'fore I Will Smith it,' Bhabie rapped in the new diss track, referring to the infamous 2022 Oscars. If the Travis look-alike wasn't enough, the rapper — who rose to fame after her 2016 appearance on Dr. Phil — ensured everyone knew who she was talking about. 'Damn, Alabama,' the song continued, 'you a tramp, Alabama. You really dumb enough to think I'll tell you anything, you dumb, dirty ho? I wouldn't tell you what color socks I got on.' Aside from the lyrics, one of the biggest shocks was the beat. Bhabie sampled Kanye West's song 'Carnival' — and suggested she got permission from the rapper ahead of time. After releasing the song, Bhabie thanked West and his wife, Bianca Censori, on her Instagram Story. She also teased a potential remix with the 'Heartless' rapper during a livestream. West's involvement with the project would add another layer of drama given his ties to the Kardashian family. The Grammy winner was married to Kourtney's sister Kim Kardashian from 2014 to 2021. Reps for West and Alabama did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
