Rapper NBA Ben 10 Critically Injured in Houston Nightclub Shooting
Baton Rouge rapper NBA Ben 10, a prominent member of the Never Broke Again collective, remains in critical condition following a shooting at Houston’s Confessions nightclub. The incident sparked widespread social media speculation about his death, though family members have confirmed he is alive and receiving medical care.
The shooting erupted after what police described as a confrontation during an attempted robbery at the Houston venue. According to Lieutenant R. Wilkins of the Houston Police Department, the altercation began when someone attempted to steal jewelry from a group at the establishment, leading the suspect to open fire indiscriminately.
Two victims, including NBA Ben 10, suffered serious injuries. One victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, while the other was shot in the arms and legs. Both were transported to local hospitals in critical condition, authorities confirmed.
Family members quickly moved to counter false reports of the rapper’s death that had circulated on Twitter and Instagram. OG Monique, mother of rapper OG 3Three, posted on Instagram: “Ten is alert… Stop the made-up stories,” urging fans to await official updates rather than spreading unverified information.
Law enforcement officials are currently reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to establish a complete timeline of the incident. No arrests have been reported as the investigation continues.
Born Benjamin Anthony Fields, NBA Ben 10 has built a significant following as both a rapper and social media personality. He serves as a videographer and close associate of chart-topping rapper NBA YoungBoy, with whom he shares family ties. His Instagram account, mgng10x, boasts over one million followers, while his YouTube channel has amassed more than four million subscribers.
Beyond his work with NBA YoungBoy, Ben 10 has established himself as an entrepreneur with his Slime Design Clothing brand and has frequently appeared in music videos within the Never Broke Again collective. His close relationship with NBA YoungBoy has been a cornerstone of his career, with the two collaborating on numerous projects including the music video for “Hell and Back.”
The shooting marks another violent incident in the hip-hop community, which has seen several high-profile artists targeted in recent years. The Houston area in particular has experienced multiple incidents involving rap artists, raising concerns about security at entertainment venues catering to the hip-hop audience.
Despite his critical condition, sources close to the rapper indicate he is receiving comprehensive medical care. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time while expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans.
NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has not issued a public statement regarding the incident involving his close associate. The platinum-selling artist has maintained a significant presence in the rap industry despite his own legal challenges in recent years.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. Meanwhile, fans across social media platforms have organized prayer circles and support campaigns for NBA Ben 10’s recovery, demonstrating the strong connection he has built with his audience through his music and online presence.
This incident adds to growing concerns about violence at entertainment venues and the safety of artists in the hip-hop community, particularly those associated with popular collectives like Never Broke Again, which has established itself as a significant force in southern rap music.
