Max B Affliate Shot & Seriously Injured


An affliate of incarcerated rapper Max B was shot and seriously injured Saturday afternoon in Maryland's Parkville neighborhood.

According to reports, Hartford
Police say the shooting happened on Park Street at 2:30 Saturday afternoon in front of 1625 Park Street.

The victim's name has not been officially released, however manager Michael Goldberg confirms that the hip-hop artist "Hollywood Fergie," who also goes by the alias "Messiah," had been shot.

Goldberg says Hollywood Fergie had just finished recording a promotional video at the Signature Gold Jewelry
store on Park Street.

After the recording was finished, Fergie and a photographer left Signature Gold and was walking by the nearby Elegant Touch barbershop.

Witnesses to the shooting say they were then approached by two men, one of whom attempted to steal a gold necklace from Fergie. In the struggle that followed, the second suspect shot Fergie multiple times.

Fergie then stumbled into the barbershop, and the shooter followed him inside, shooting him several more times as he laid on the ground.

After visiting with his client, Michael Goldberg said the artist was optimistic and expects to make a full recovery. He says the rapper was struck twice in the abdomen, twice in the chest, once in the shoulder, and once in the elbow, all by a .22 caliber gun. Goldberg says that if the gun was of a higher caliber, the rapper may not be alive.

Hollywood Fergie, an alias the artist uses, also goes by the name "Messiah." According to Goldberg, Fergie has performed with several bigger-name acts, including opening for rapper 50 Cent.
