Five people were shot outside of a Houston strip club Tuesday night leaving three dead and two wounded. One of those wounded was Grand Hustle/ABN artist Trae Tha Truth who was transported to a local hospital with what is being reported as a minor gunshot wound.
Twitter user @LowLifeDynasty tweeted a pic of the rapper in the hospital along with a message saying he was OK. "Everybody TRAE is ok. Minor gunshot wound."
MyFoxHouston reports that the shooting occurred at Scores Cabaret strip club located in a shopping center on Westpark.
Houston Police spokesman Victor Senties said that two men and one woman died at the scene and two men, including Trae Tha Truth were transported to local hospitals.
Witnesses said more than 20 shots were fired at the scene. At this point there have been no arrests made.
**UPDATE**
Reports are now coming in that the two men who died in this morning's shooting were members of Trae Tha Truth's A**holes By Nature crew. Their names were Dinky D and Poppa C.
Bun B tweeted “RIP Dinky D and Poppa c.” Slim Thug later added, “Im just waking up hearing all this, we was all together yesterday prayers out to the whole #ABN I can’t believe Dinky died #RIPDinky”
This morning's deaths come just six months after the murder of Trae's close friend Money Clip D who was shot outside of Breakers nightclub on Bissonet in Houston.
MyFoxHouston is reporting that a woman that knew one of this morning's victim's said "that it was clear to her someone was going after Trae Tha Truth and anyone associated with him."
Trae's spokeswoman Tiffany, who identified herself as the community outreach director for Angels by Nature, Trae's non-profit organization. denied that account however.
"Oh, no, he wasn't a target. He definitely wasn't a target," said Tiffany. "He just happened to be coming outside. He was taking pictures and signing autographs and kind of just got caught in the crossfire."
Story still developing.

Lil Wayne has ended his beef with Pusha T and he's urging Drake to do the same thing with Chris Brown. The high profile feud between Drizzy and Brown could start affecting the bottom line and that is something Weezy is not going to let happen.
TMZ is reporting that Wayne, Birdman, Mack Maine and others urging him to reach out to Brown to squash their their differences and move on with the business of making money. YMCMB have collaborated with Brown several times in the past and know the singer makes hit records.
As many of you may recall, Drake and Brown were involved in a bottle throwing brawl at club W.I.P. in New York last Wednesday that left eight people injured, several of whom have already hired lawyers and plan to sue.
According to this new report Drake doesn't want to reach out to Brown until he knows for sure Breezy won't blame him for starting the brawl.
YMCMB is on Drake's side no matter what, but one source says, "Making money matters most."

As we previously reported, Lil Wayne defended his decision to pull Nicki Minaj out of Summer Jam 2012 by saying he felt that women should never be disrespected. Weezy was referring to comments Hot 97 on air personality Peter Rosenberg made about Nicki's song "Starships" the day of the concert.
“That’s a female; first and foremost Nicki Minaj is a female,” Wayne said backstage at Birthday Bash 17 in Atlanta. “I don’t know what anyone else believes, but I believe females deserve the ultimate respect at all times, no matter when or where or how.”
Rosenberg fired back at the Young Money CEO by playing some of his lyrics that don't seem to be showing females a lot of the respect he was referring to.

When Floyd Mayweather Jr. entered the ring to face Miguel Cotto on Saturday May 5, 2012 many people were surprised to see him accompanied by Justin Bieber.
On the surface the two wouldn't seem to have much in common, but Money May took a liking to Bieber after a chance meeting and is now mentoring him and has made him a member of the money team.
“After I met him, we just connected and exchanged numbers and started talking,” Bieber told VIBE.com “He gives me advice about business and how to make sure I’m being taken care of. He’s Money Mayweather. He wants to make sure I’m making the right investments.”
Bieber said the experience of walking out with the champ's belts along with 50 Cent was a memorable one.
“He asked me to walk him out and I was like of, course,” Bieber said. “I had the belts, me and 50, It was a lot of fun. I’m used to screams, but these were different because they weren’t as high pitched. These were older guys, so it was more like yeah (says roaring) and not like aaah (high pitched squeal).”

Don't expect any more fireworks between Lil Wayne and Pusha T because Weezyhas moved past their brief beef.
After Pusha released "Exodus 23:1" aimed at Drake and YMCMB, Wayne quickly shot back with his own diss track "Ghoulish," but now he says that is all behind him. In an interview with the Associated Press, Weezy said he's focused on upcoming albums and his clothing line.
AP: What's next musically? And what happened in the beef between you and Pusha T?
Lil Wayne: I just finished recording my "I Am Not a Human Being II" album. And we're starting to work on the Young Money album. ... It really wasn't no beef, you know. It was just me. I just reacted. Just a reaction, a simple reaction. I don't apologize for it because I'm human. But it was just my human reaction. I don't take it back. But there's no beef. Beef is a whole different thing. ... I'll move on.
AP: Do you consider yourself the most stylish rapper out there? How has your style evolved?
LW: I do not consider myself the most stylish rapper out there. I'd say if I had to consider someone the most stylish rapper out there, I would definitely say that would be a Kanye West or a Andre 3000. ... Yes it (my style) has evolved because I was one of the guys that would "geek chic" it every now and then. ... Now I'm just more into whatever works for me. I think that's just age.
AP: What do you bring to skateboarding and why do you like it?
LW: Skating has so many styles. Once you pick up a skateboard, you'll find out that it's not a hobby, it's not a sport, it's a lifestyle. There's so many styles to it that people enjoy that I bring a new one. ... I love a challenge. ... It's fun as hell to fall and to not get something and then to finally land it. That's like pursuing a girl that said no a hundred times and she finally say yeah. That's what it feels like every single time.
AP: How did you start a clothing line?
LW: It was brought to me by my friends and peers. They was like, "Dude, you dress your own way and people follow that. You probably should have your own clothing line." And it was just that easy.
AP: You also have a soda endorsement deal but don't come across as a businessman like some of your peers. Do you deliberately keep it separated from your public persona?
LW: When it comes to me, myself, I'm very free-spirited, so that's what you see, and that's what you get - you as in the public eye. But when it comes down to business, I believe that business shouldn't be done in the public's eye anyway. And I believe that business shouldn't be handled in the magazines anyway. Business should be handled in the room amongst the people you're doing business with. And that's how I handle my business. And once I come out of that room, I'm back to being who I am. And that's why I don't come off as the businessman or nothing, but at the end of the day you can always say: "... This guy's stock keeps rising and there is no driving force behind it but him."
AP: Are your business ambitions greater than your music ambitions?
LW: I can honestly say my music is always going to be greater than my business side. Because I'm naturally a musician. And I don't have to get paid, I don't even have to have businesses. I will still do music. So that will always be my greater thing. ... Business is business. And music is life.
AP: This is presidential campaign season. Do you plan to get political at all? Do you plan to go out and encourage kids to vote?
LW: I do. ... And that comes from age, and that comes from my vacation on Rikers Island (the New York City jail where Wayne did time in in 2010). Now that I know how important voting and elections and all that is. ... But everybody know that life is going to be life regardless of who is president.

With his Vampire Life clothing movement already making noise Jim Jones is ready to bring the world new visuals and music from The Diplomats.
After announcing they would be making a comeback two years ago the group released the song "Salute" and has since played spot concerts here and there including a surprise appearance during Drake's set this past weekend at sold out Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Long Island, New York. But there still has been no full album from Capo, Cam'Ron, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey.
Jones insists a disc is forthcoming though. He told MTV that he and Killa have been in the lab. The first offering will be a Lil Wayne assisted single entitled "Have You Ever Made Love to a Diplomat."
"Me and Killa has been working diligently together and recording and things like that. So, everything is moving not as fast as everybody else would want it to, but it's moving just on time for us," Jim said. "The Diplomat album is definitely in the works."
Jones said he hopes the recording of the reunion album will be the subject of a reality show, which would lead up to the December release of the album.
