Pretty Ricky Rapper Baby Blue Shot During Attempted Robbery

Pretty Ricky rap star Baby Blue is in critical condition after being shot during an attempted robbery outside a South Florida bowling alley, authorities said.

The incident happened around midnight Monday in the parking lot of Sparez Bowling Alley.

Police said Baby Blue, real name Diamond Blue Smith, and a friend were next to their cars when they were approached by two armed men.

The suspects tried to steal a gold chain necklace and there was a fight that led to a gun going off and hitting the rapper in the left shoulder area.

He was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition, police said.

Graphic video posted on social media appeared to show the bloodied rapper shortly after the shooting lying on the ground as friends yelled for help.

Police said the suspects fled the scene before officers arrived.

The shooting remains under investigation and police said they’re still looking for possible suspects.

Baby Blue was a member of Pretty Ricky, which scored hits in the 2000s with songs like “On the Hotline, and “Grind With Me.”

He more recently starred on VH1’s reality series “Love & Hip Hop: Miami.”

He was in town for a release party for his new track, “Jerry Rice.” 

Cops say one suspect was wearing a black hoodie with a face covering while the second wore a grey hoodie with a face covering. Davie PD urges anyone with information to contact them or the Broward Crime Stoppers.

Sending prayers for Baby Blue as he recovers.
