UPDATED 3/6, 8:02 a.m. ET: An LAPD rep has offered an update on what’s known about a strip club incident during which Le Vaughn—the on-again, off-again boyfriend of Bhad Bhabie—was said to be shot in the hand.
When reached for comment by Complex, a rep for the department confirmed a shooting in the area near Sam’s Hofbrau, stating that the incident took place shortly after 2:00 a.m. local time. While the rep did not mention Le Vaughn specifically, nor did he identify the other individual who was hit with gunfire in the incident, he did confirm that an individual believed to be the suspect was able to flee the scene before being apprehended.
“On 3/5/25, at 2:04 a.m., two male victims were struck by gunfire in the 1700 block of E. Olympic Blvd,” the rep said in an email to Complex. “The male suspect fled the location in a vehicle. The victims were self-transported to a local hospital in stable condition.”

Le Vaughn, often romantically linked with Bhad Bhabie, was reportedly among those injured in a recent strip club shooting in Los Angeles.
Per a report from TMZ, Vaughn was shot in the hand during an incident that first started inside Sam’s Hofbrau before making its way to the street. While the report lists a suspect driving a white SUV, that individual was not apprehended by police. The injuries to Vaughn and another individual were not considered life-threatening in nature.
An X account known for aggregating Los Angeles radio traffic reported that two people had been shot in the area, with both said to be in stable condition. A suspect, per that report and also echoed in the TMZ piece, is believed to have left the scene in a white Mercedes G-Wagon.
Complex has reached out to local police for comment on the shooting, which is said to have taken place early Wednesday. We’ve also reached out to Sam’s Hofbrau.
Vaughn and Bhabie, who share a child together, have been a frequent source of headlines attention due to the on-again, off-again nature of their relationship. Most recently, this led, in part, to a public feud between Bhabie and Alabama Barker.
As of this writing, Vaughn had not publicly commented on Wednesday's reported shooting incident. In an Instagram Stories update shared Tuesday, he wrote, “Coming to my bitch as women has never worked.” It wasn't immediately clear what this was referencing.
Footage later surfaced allegedly showing Le Vaughn in the hospital.
Bhabie, meanwhile, joined DDG on stream on Tuesday night, resulting in a conversation during which both her recent use of a “Carnival” sample (on the Bama diss “Ms. Whitman”) and the subsequent leaking of a Ye-emulating verse made using A.I. On the latter, Bhabie chalked up to the confusion to an unnamed member of her team who “did some weird shit” by going live on her official IG without her involvement.
“I’m not the one that leaked it,” she said.
Ye himself previously explained his sample clearance rationale, confirming that he had given the go-ahead to Bhabie’s Bama diss. However, according to him, he was not fully aware of the context of the track, prompting him to make contact with Bama’s father (and previous Ye collaborator), Travis Barker of blink-182.
