AraabMuzik is currently in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound suffered on Wednesday. The super producer known for his work with The Diplomats, Slaughterhouse, Lloyd Banks, Azealia Banks and many others was apparently in his own neighborhood when the robbery attempt went down.
His camp issued a statement to Billboard on Thursday.
"Rumors have begun to circulate and first and foremost, we want to let everyone know that AraabMUZIK is currently alive and well. He was out in his neighborhood last night with friends and unfortunately the victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is recovering now and police are investigating the crime. We appreciate all the concern and fan support and Araab is looking forward to a speedy recovery and returning to the stage as soon as he can."
Araab's manager, Duke Da God, tweeted out a picture of his client in a hospital bed surrounded by well wishers.
Avatar Darko, an artist Araab has been working with also tweeted about the incident.
"Pray for my bro Araab! He just got shot but he'll be alright! He's strong!," Avatar wrote on the social networking site.
We hope Araab is back on his feet and fully recovered soon.

Iggy Azalea recently sat down with Hard Knock TV for an in depth interview. The first question Nick Huff Barili asked her was about Scarface's comments during his Hard Knock interview that hip hop had become a white person's game now.
"I feel like we losing it," Face says. "I feel like the people that are in control of what Hip Hop does is so fucking White and so fucking Jewish and so they don't give a fuck about what the culture and the craft really is about. Let me say this sh*t right because I want this to be as offensive as I can f*ckin' make it for these old-a$$ punks that's running these record labels that's in the powerful positions to dictate what the black community hears and listens to. I f*cking hate that sh*t. That sh*t p*sses me off," Face continued. "There's no f*cking way that you can tell me that it's not a conspiracy against the blacks in hip hop. You put out f*cking records that make us look stupid. You make us look dumb," Face said. "You brainwash a generation of hip hoppers with this f*cking crud and then when these other rappers come out, splitting it down the middle, these other rappers' s*it sound like 'Wow!' Y'all look great!' 'Y'all look stupid!' Then mothaf*ckers start going over here and pretty soon, Hip hop is white now."
Iggy made an interesting counterpoint to Face's argument.
"You can have a million white men that are executives in a building, but that doesn't make a culture a color," Iggy said. "That's because they can sell you whatever they want but unless you buy it doesn't mean anything. It's not old white men creating the content. And it's not old white men buying the content either. I think what shapes the culture is who is consuming it. That's people of all different colors. That's a great thing. I think this idea that rap should should be black or rap should be this or that is worrying to me. It's almost like segregation. Why would you want to segregate cultures? Whatever it is that's getting money put into it is 100% I believe and can testify to the fact it's dictated by what you consume, what you listen to, what you click on, what you like, what you comment on, and that's just that"
Who makes a more valid point? Is Face just not seeing the natural progression of the art form? Has Iggy been in the game long enough to argue against what a 25-year industry legend has to say? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

A Fayetville, North Carolina police officer is caught on tape arresting a man named Xstrav for trespassing after he refused to hand over his can of Arizona Iced Tea.
Xstrav was waiting for a friend outside of an ABC Liquor store when an undercover cop walks up and demands to know what he's drinking. X shows him the can's label, but refuses to hand it over to the officer, who up until that point had not shown anything identifying himself as a policeman.
After a back and forth exchange of words the cop tells X he needs to leave the property because he is trespassing. When X doesn't leave right away the cop wrestles him to the ground and places him under arrest.
Is this an abuse of power? Or a justified arrest? Watch the video below and let us know what you think in the comment section.

We are sad to report that Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly of the group Kriss Kross has passed away today at the age of 34. Details have not yet surfaced, but Big Boi of Outkast just tweeted R.I.P. to the rapper.
Greg Street of Atlanta radio station V-103 is also reporting that Chris has passed.
Sad to hear the loss of my lil homie, Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly. I met him and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith in ’93. Their song “Jump” had been #1 on the billboard charts for eight weeks. Everyone knows Kriss Kross for their music and the crazy way they used to dress, but once they started working with So So Def, they became family.
Kriss Kross just performed at the 20th anniversary of So So Def.
Around 7:45 I received a phone call from his cousin saying they had found Kelly at the house just 20 minutes earlier and he was unresponsive.
I just received confirmation that he has passed.
We have received further confirmation of Chris' death from Atlanta TV station WXIA.
Rapper Chris Kelly of 1990's rap group "Kris Kross" was found dead on Wednesday evening.
According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, Kelly was discovered unresponsive at his home. He pronounced dead at Atlanta Medical Center - South Fulton shortly after 8 p.m.
The cause of death has not yet been determined. No further details were immediately released.
R.I.P. Chris
**UPDATE** May 2nd
The investigation into Chris' death is underway. According to MyFoxAtlanta and WSBTV it is believed he succumbed to a drug overdose.
TMZ reports that Chris's mother and uncle told police he had a long history of drug abuse. The night before Chris died he took a mixture of heroin and cocaine, known as "speedballs." The rapper felt sick Wednesday morning before passing out. His mother called 911 after finding him unresponsive.
His mother, Donna Kelly Pratte and So So Def, the label he and his partner, Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith, found fame on released a joint statement.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Chris Kelly has passed away on May 1. To millions of fans worldwide, he was the trendsetting, backwards pants-wearing one-half of Kris Kross who loved making music. But to us, he was just Chris – the kind, generous and fun-loving life of the party. Though he was only with us a short time, we feel blessed to have been able to share some incredible moments with him. His legacy will live on through his music, and we will forever love him.”
The hip hop world is also mourning the loss of Mac Daddy. LL Cool J, Da Brat, Nicki Minaj, Keri Hilson and more have tweeted their condolences.
