Hip-Hop Producer AraabMUZIK, whose birth name is Abraham Orellana, was shot Wednesday night and is being hospitalized, according to the Associated Press.
His publicist released a statement late Thursday saying he is “currently alive and well.” The publicist added Orellana was socializing with friends and happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The shooting is still under investigation by law enforcement.
The statement adds that the producer was in his neighborhood when the shooting occurred. The publicist did not specify a city. Orellana is originally from Providence, Rhode Island.
George Monroe, Orellana’s manager who is also a producer known as DukeDaGod, tweeted an Instagram photo of Orellana recovering in a hospital bed and put these words under the picture:
Everyone wish my brother araabmuzik a healthy & pleasant recovery!!!!
The publicist's statement goes on to say that Orellana is thanking fans for their support. Orellana is also “looking forward to a speedy recovery and returning to the stage as soon as he can.”
