Early Saturday morning, a music video shoot at a Bronx bodega turned violent after one member of a rap duo reportedly opened fire on his "best friend" and partner, wounding him in the head, legs, and chest.
According to the bodega's owner, the shooting was triggered by an argument over who was the video's star.

"They were fighting over who's the star, who's better," owner Ali Abdul told the New York Daily News. "They were drunk. They spit at each other then one guy pulled out a gun and shot the other guy five times."

The gunman never lets go of his drink during the shooting, while repeatedly pistol whipping the 37-year-old victim. The video shows several witnesses casually stepping over the victim as he writhes on the floor in pain. The suspect remains at large; the victim is in critical condition at a local hospital and is expected to survive.
