UPDATE #2: San Francisco police now say that 2 Chainz was indeed robbed yesterday, according to a new report by Radio.com.

Def Jam Records star 2 Chainz was the victim of a robbery yesterday afternoon (June 9) in Northern California. According to TMZ.com, the Atlanta, Georgia native formerly known as Tity Boi was with an entourage of 14 people yesterday at approximately 4:30pm in the vicinity of San Francisco, California.

While information is releasing, sources with the San Francisco Police Department told TMZ that they responded to the sound of gunfire. While 2 Chainz reportedly gave the assailant(s) his wallet, the Based On A T.R.U. Story album-maker opted not to provide authorities with additional information about the robbery and shooting. Reports at present indicate that nobody was injured.

A Georgia-centered news source, Everything Georgia, initially tweeted that the incident actually took place across the bridge in Oakland, California. The Twitter account with nearly 100,000 followers also claimed the robbery/shooting took place at a marijuana dispensary:

UPDATE: A member of 2 Chainz's entourage was robbed, but the rapper himself was not robbed yesterday (June 9) in San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Police Department, as per Radio.com. “He was not the victim of a robbery,” San Francisco police said of 2 Chainz in a phone interview with Radio.com. “He was there, but he wasn’t the victim.”

The police said that one member of 2 Chainz's crew reportedly fell to the ground after a shot was fired and the group scattered. The member who fell was then approached by the suspect, “who robbed him of an unknown item and fled the scene,” according to the police. The police also said 2 Chainz's crew is "being very uncooperative" in the investigation and that a suspect has not been located.
