Rapper ‘Troy Ave’ was sitting in his red Maserati when, without warning, a gunman opened fire on him. The hometown hip-hop star was grazed in the head and struck once in the arm as he sat in the six-figure sports car with his girlfriend, according to New York Post.

The rapper drove off and abandoned his car a few blocks away.

A good Samaritan took him to Brookdale Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, sources said.

When asked how he was doing, a bandaged-up Ave told The Post, “Shot in the head, man,” before being wheeled away by medical staff.

A photo that was later posted to Instagram by rapper 50 Cent showed the Brooklyn MC laid up in a hospital bed.

“Dope boy Troy all good,” the caption read. “Merry Christmas.”

The NY Post reports that Ave — born Roland Collins — was slapped with attempted murder and weapons possession charges earlier this year after he was involved in a shooting at Irving Plaza during a T.I. concert.

The headline-grabbing incident left his friend and bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter, dead and Ave with a gunshot wound to his right leg.

How wonderful…

God Bless.
