In response to the shooting, Sexxy wrote, “I send my condolences to the family of the man who lost his life and prayers up for the person who was wounded. But i gotta address the rumors that it happened at my video shoot bc s**t is not true, at all.
“To be clear it happened at a gas station across the street from my video set. Florida Highway Patrol and Broward County Sheriff confirmed that the shooting wasn’t on my set. [I’m] secure and thanks to my production team getting all the paperwork right and working with the Broward Sheriff’s Office to hire off-duty’s to make sure everyone was safe. We finished the shoot at a different location and everyone from our set went home safely. Period. I’m just trying to work hard, make good music, connect with my fans. Please don’t try to twist narratives and put this on a bi**h.”
Sexyy Red’s courage in speaking out about the shooting is commendable. Sexyy believes that this incident should serve as a wake-up call to the industry, prompting a reevaluation of safety protocols and a commitment to creating a secure environment for all involved.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that violence has marred music video shoots. Just days before Sexyy Red’s incident, rapper French Montana was also filming a music video in Miami when gunfire erupted, leaving multiple people wounded. The prevalence of such incidents highlights a concerning trend within the industry. It is vital that steps are taken to address this issue and protect those who are vulnerable to these senseless acts of violence.
