Melvin Adams (Fish Scales), a solo artist and member of the beloved southern rap group Nappy Roots, was shot late Wednesday night during a robbery and attempted kidnapping outside Atlantucky Brewing in Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill neighborhood. He is currently recovering at a local hospital. The news was first reported by local NBC affiliate 11 Alive and later confirmed by a representative of Nappy Roots on the group’s verified Instagram page.
“Last night our brother, Scales [sic] was a victim of an attempted robbery… in Atlanta after closing our brewery, Atlantucky,” their initial post — apparently a Notes app screenshot — reads. (Adams co-owns Atlantucky Brewing with fellow Nappy Roots member William Hughes, aka Skinny Deville.) “We are blessed to say that he is stable and in good spirits after suffering a leg injury. Luckily, none of our dedicated patrons of Atlantucky were at the scene or harmed during the robbery.”
According to the Atlanta Police Department, however, the (at least two) suspected robbers first mugged a customer in the parking lot before entering the brewery and forcing Adams into his vehicle at gunpoint, 11 Alive reports. He was able to escape on foot, and officers later found his car in Hapeville, a small suburb adjacent to Atlanta proper.
The FADER has reached out to the APD’s public affairs office for further information on the incident.
