Haitian rapper shot for diamonds

Haitian rapper Black Alex was shot recently in Petionville, Haiti, by assailants who robbed him of a diamond encrusted pendant and necklace given to him by Wyclef Jean. Alex was apparently leaving a concert in the suburbs of Port-au-Princes on 2 Apr when he was attacked by the thieves, who shot him four times before fleeing with the pendant as well as an unknown amount of money. The rapper was rushed to a local hospital, but according to allhiphop.com, the aforementioned Wyclef Jean flew to Haiti and had his friend airlifted to Cuba to get him better medical attention for the gunshot wounds, one of which lay just two inches from his heart. He is still in a critical condition, but is expected to recover.
