Local authorities say when the two men arrived to the home, they went to exit their vehicle, but were soon surrounded by a group of suspects, who were all wearing skis masks and wielding guns.

The two men were held up at gunpoint and things escalated after shots were fired, leading to Wakko and his unidentified associate being shot multiple shots before the suspects fled the scene in a white SUV.

When first responders arrived to the scene, they discovered the two wounded men and had them rushed to the hospital and each taken into surgery. As of Friday afternoon (Sept. 2), both men were out of surgery, but doctors updated that they were both still in critical condition and each needing another operation.

In addition to his rap career, Wakko is also known as the creator of the popular AirHeadz brand of cannabis, which he heavily promotes on social media, along with his flashy diamond necklaces, watches and more.
