Rapper Slim 400 was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds, according to reports.

Local law enforcement told TMZ that they received a call at approximately 8.30pm on Friday night for a male who had been shot in Compton.

Sources say the circumstances of the shooting are unclear, though it’s believed a black vehicle seen leaving the scene may be involved.

The rapper is best known for his appearance on the track “Bruisin”, alongside YG and Sad Boy Loko.

Podcaster Adam Grandmaison, known as Adam22, wrote on Twitter: “Slim 400 got shot 10 times and is currently in the hospital. Pray for him.”

He also posted text screenshots that claimed the rapper had been shot in the face and back.
