    Conflicting reports from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., have not conclusively confirmed whether the "Hustlin'" hitmaker, real name William Roberts, was a passenger in a Rolls Royce that was showered with "dozens" of bullets at around 5 a.m., causing it to crash into an apartment building.

    Witnesses on the scene identified one of the people in the car as Ross, according to GossipCop.com. The other passenger was reportedly a woman.

    No injuries have been reported, and no arrests had been made as WENN went to press.
