Remember back in April when Wayne’s tour bus was shot at after a show in Atlanta? A new indictment alleges that this shooting was part of a plot by Birdman, Young Thug and Rich Gang affiliate Jimmy Winfrey, a.k.a Peeway Roscoe. Roscoe was arrested for the crime two months ago, but new reports sent to WSBTV reporter Mike Petchenik’s Twitter name Thugger and Birdman as part of the crime. Neither of them have been arrested or charged though, just named in the indictment.
The main thing we took away from the indictment is detailing that Thug and Birdman are connected to Winfrey, and that he is allegedly carrying out a plot devised by them. According to the indictment, just before the shooting Roscoe phoned Young Thug. Peewee and other Bloods were then seen at Wayne’s show by police. They say he was driving a white Chevrolet Camaro with an assault rifle about his person, and drove off before they could detain him. The police then escorted Wayne and his tour busses along the highway, where Roscoe and the other Bloods drove up beside the buses and opened fire with a 9MM handgun and .40 caliber handgun. The first person Roscoe called after the shooting was Birdman.
Peewee then hid the Chevrolet and went to Miami, and he also tried to delete Instagram photos of the car which police later found at a relative’s house.
The indictment also claims that Thug fully raps about the shooting in “Halftime”, where he says “Fuck nigga try me I swear to God, Lil Whodi done pull up and pop at his noggin.” Wayne referred to himself as “Lil Whodi” in 2002 on 500 Degreez’s song “Way of Life”. But, “Halftime” came out back in March when Thug was still a fan of Wayne.
Courts are using Thug’s new video for “With That” as evidence to draw a connection between the new information and April’s incident, as Roscoe features in the video for the song which again mentions Wayne, holding a gun.
The reports are a separate incident to Thug’s recent arrest at his home on charges of making terrorist threats, stemming from an incident in April where Thug threatened to shoot a director of security at a mall in the face.
