Pretty Ricky rapper Baby Blue is reportedly still in the hospital after being shot during an attempted robbery at a Miami bowling alley.
But early Thursday morning (April 22), the veteran artist updated his fans on his condition, tweeting, “Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I’m still in ICU but I’m on the road to recovery. The bullet traveled through my [lungs] is in stuck in my back. I have to learn to breathe & walk again. I have a great medical team here at the hospital. God Got Me.”
According to TMZ, Baby Blue’s brother and fellow Pretty Ricky member Spectacular Smith said he was attempting to grab the gun from the suspect in an effort to shield his cousin from getting shot. Instead, Baby Blue wound up with a significant gunshot wound. As Baby Blue mentioned in his tweet, the bullet pierced his lung and is still inside his body. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only his mother and father have been allowed to see him.
