FORMER DIPSET STAR FLEES GUNFIRE

Former DIPSET member MAX B has escaped serious injury after a fan opened fire at his concert in New York.

The rapper - real name Charly Wingate - was performing at music venue SOB on Tuesday night (22Jul08) when a group of men entered and fired a gunshot.

A source tells AllHipHop.com, "They came in 25 deep, a couple of songs were playing and a guy was in Max's face making gestures.

"One thing led to another and the whole crew bumrushed (ran up to) the security and everyone started fighting. That's when a single shot was let off."

No fatalities were reported as WENN went to press.
