Rapper NBA Ben10 (real name Ben Fields) has been left with irreversible paralysis after a violent shooting incident in Houston involving fellow rapper Allstar JR.
According to Harris County court records, Ben10 sustained a severe spinal injury during the April 8 altercation at Confessions restaurant in the Upper Kirby area. Medical reports confirm he has lost all sensation from the waist down, with doctors stating the paralysis is likely permanent.
Allstar JR (real name Jeremy Christopher Ford) faces an upgraded charge of aggravated assault causing traumatic brain or spine injury, in addition to federal weapons charges. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Allstar JR opening fire after a confrontation involving an alleged robbery attempt. He allegedly continued shooting at Ben10 even after he fell to the ground.
The incident has sent ripples through the hip-hop community, with many expressing concern for Ben10’s future. The 26-year-old rapper, affiliated with NBA YoungBoy’s circle, has been largely silent on social media since the shooting, though he recently shared a video confirming he is now using a wheelchair.
This is the second shooting Ben10 has been involved in within a short period, adding to the tragedy. Allstar JR claims self-defense, stating he was being robbed at the time.
The case has drawn significant attention as it highlights the ongoing violence affecting emerging rappers. Fans and fellow artists have flooded social media with prayers and support for Ben10’s recovery.
As the legal proceedings continue, the hip-hop world watches closely to see how this devastating incident will unfold.
