Rapper NBA Youngboy’s associate, NBA Ben10, real name Ben Anthony Fields, is among three shot in Baton Rouge on Tuesday (May 14) — according to a news report by WBRZ 2. This marks the second time NBA Ben10 has been shot in a month, following a shooting incident involving him and another recording artist after a fight with Detroit rapper Allstar Jr inside Houston’s Confessions restaurant.
Fields, whose legal name is Ben Anthony Fields, was identified by sources as one of three individuals struck by gunfire on Wells Street. Authorities have not publicly disclosed the circumstances that led to the shooting, and no arrests had been announced as of Tuesday. Fields and the other victims were transported to a hospital in a private vehicle, according to WBRZ.
The Baton Rouge shooting follows an April shooting at Confessions, a restaurant in Houston’s Upper Kirby neighborhood. Fields was also wounded.

Houston-area media reports said the shooting occurred during what investigators described as an attempted robbery. According to those reports, an individual allegedly drew a firearm after others tried to snatch his chains. Rapper Allstar Jr opened fire inside the crowded restaurant.
Between 20 and 30 patrons were inside the venue at the time, and two people were struck. Authorities said it remains unclear whether the victims were involved in the attempted robbery. The alleged shooter fled before officers arrived.
In a statement issued after the incident, the restaurant said it does not condone violence. It reads, “To ensure the continued protection of everyone who walks through our doors.”
Fields has long been part of NBA YoungBoy’s inner circle. He has frequently appeared alongside the Baton Rouge rapper in music videos and social media posts.
