Collins remained in NYU Langone Medical Center Saturday, handcuffed to a bed and under a police guard. (New York Daily News)
Back in May 2012, Troy put up a Twitter post about having a nightmare similar to his real-life gun arrest this week in New York City.
According to reports, new footage obtained by New York law enforcement allegedly shows Troy firing a gun backstage at rapper T.I.‘s Irving Plaza New York concert this week.
3:45 PM PT — Cops have added an attempted murder charge and another count of criminal possession. We’re told ballistic testing is ongoing, and depending on results, he could also get a murder charge. NYPD released video they say shows rapper Troy Ave — who’s now been arrested — opening fire Wednesday night during the NYC concert T.I. was headlining. (TMZ)
New York Police Department Commissioner William Bratton used the shooting to talk down on hip-hop Thursday (May 26).
“The crazy world of these so-called rap artists who are basically thugs that basically celebrate the violence that they’ve done all their lives,” he said. “Unfortunately that violence often times manifests itself during their performances, and that’s exactly what happened last evening.”

Stop saying he shot his fucking self!!!!!!!. Only way that happened is him struggling for the gun. It was not his gun. He fought for his life to get that gun. Fucking dickheads hate yall motherfuckers. Fuck Maino Fuck Murda and Fuck Taxstone. They went there to kill him. Taxstone people’s Murda and Maino knew about it and warned T.I that’s why he left the room minutes before it happened. Everybody penning it on this dude its fucked up!!!!!!!! People in that room need to come forward that’s not snitching either. A snitch is when you commit a crime and tell on your Co de to get less time. He lost a good friend and in jail for defending his self and having the strength to grab a gun that wasn’t his……. Fuck this I hate seeing people get railroaded yo. Fuck evrrybody. His Music is way better than Maino and Murda they acted cool shit was fake.

Stop making up stupid shit. Maino or Uncle Murda aint got NO Beef with Troy. Murda might be affiliated with Tax, but that aint his beef. Get it right.
Sounds like a bunch of ignorant nonesense. The commish may be a hypocrite for not calling out his own, but he wasn’t lying about what he said. These are all a bunch of ignorant, violent thugs glorifying low-life shit. Uncivilized recklessness costs people their lives. None of these creatures are any better than the George Zimmerman’s of the world. All are a danger to black folks. One yourselves so that you guys don’t tale the rest of us with you.
