The relieving news follows a SWAT team storming the rapper’s luxury
La Gorce Island mansion Wednesday afternoon and going from room to room following a tense, two-hour investigation from outside.
A report of four people shot inside Lil Wayne’s Miami Beach home was all just a PRANK, authorities said.
“Unfortunately this appears to be a ‘Swatting’ call,” Miami Beach Police tweeted at 2:54 p.m. “MBPD handles all calls of this nature in a serious manner. In this case it appears to have (been) a hoax.”
Young Money, the rapper’s record label, tweeted that the rapper was not home at the time of the incident and “is okay.”
The rapper later echoed that statement, tweeting to his 21.8 million followers, “Prank kall mane.”
