Rich Homie Quan's father, Corey Lamar, is in critical condition at an Atlanta hospital after being shot this morning, TMZ reports. Lamar was shot four times after his barber shop was held up in a robbery attempt. At least one suspect opened fire and then fled the barber shop in a black Honda. The report was unclear if police have made any arrests.
Lamar is reportedly undergoing surgery and is expected to survive. Quan is reportedly by his father's side at the hospital.
A witness told Atlanta's Channel 2 Action News that he unsuccessfully tried to chase the gunman.
"I heard about three gunshots, and so I saw the guy come out," Van White told them. "He got in a black car, and that's all I know from there."
According to workers at the shop, this is the second time the shop has been shot up in the last month.
Several of Channel 2's sources believe the shooting is a result of Quan feuding with or disrespecting other rappers in his songs.
Lamar is not only Quan's father. According to TMZ, he is also the "Type of Way" rapper's manager (though his website lists another name). The 24-year-old has yet to comment on the shooting.
