After being admitted into the Grady Memorial Hospital yesterday (June 18) for a stab wound to his face during a party for DJ Trauma, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution has learned that CTE rapper B.A.M.A. has been released.
As previously reported the recent CTE signee was involved in a fight early Thursday morning, along with nine other men in he VIP section at the Luckie Food Lounge in downtown Atlanta. So far he has been the only man identified in the fight, with another unknown victim also ending up in the hospital.
As of yesterday no one has been charged in the incident. It is rumored that the fight was between the long feuding camps of Young Jeezy and DJ Drama, yet when reached DJ Drama declined to comment.
Trauma’s party, which was celebrating his 10-year anniversary on Atlanta radio station HOT 107.9, was a star-studded event featuring a long list of hip-hop heavyweights like Young Jeezy, Drama, Ludacris and Jermaine Dupri, among others. While he did not witness the fight, Trauma told XXL that he’s not worried about violence marring tomorrow’s 14th annual Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash.
“I don’t think [anything is gonna happen],” he said. “I know at our Summer Jam, the way they do it, they space them out. They was like that last year. They both performed last year. And they both were on fire – even more so. They signed contracts and everything. I know they had stipulations and they had meetings about it. They space them about two hours apart. One crew comes, they do their press, do their show and then they leave. The next crew comes do their show and leave. They’re never in the same spot. We never have any incidents. Last year T.I. and Shawty Lo had beef and Gucci and Jeezy had beef. There was beef all around last year and we had no problems. [So] I think it’s gonna run smooth.“
Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, Plies and Young Dro are among this year’s performers at this year’s concert.
It has been confirmed that Atlanta based rapper B.A.M.A., a recent signee to Young Jeezy’s CTE label, was one of the two men that was stabbed at a party for Hot 107.9 radio personality DJ Trauma earlier this morning.
TMZ reports that B.A.M.A. (born Antonio Henry) is currently recovering from a stab wound to the face at Grady Memorial Hospital in the ATL. The graveness of his injuries are unknown as of press time.
As previously reported a fight broke out at the Luckie Food Lounge in downtown Atlanta around 2:30 a.m. during a party celebrating Trauma’s 10 year anniversary at the station. The altercation, which reportedly included 10 men, is rumored to have erupted between Jeezy’s CTE camp and DJ Drama Aphilliates crew. The Snowman has told various media outlets that he was not involved in a fight and Drama declined to comment.
Trauma spoke to XXL this afternoon and the co-founder of The World Famous Superfriends DJ Crew said he did not witness the brawl. “I didn’t know what had happened, because we were all upstairs in the VIP - Me, Estelle, Luda[cris] and [Young] Jeezy - and I was talking to Jeezy and I was like we about to go downstairs, and perform,” he shared. “So I grabbed Jeremih, Estelle and my artist Verse Simmons and we went downstairs and we started performing. And just doing what we do. He was doing ‘Birthday Sex’ and [Lil] Scrappy was performing and all of a sudden I was like damn were is everybody else at. And a couple of minutes later some people were like ‘they were fighting upstairs.’”
Authorities have failed to arrest anyone in the incident and the name of the other stabbing victim has yet to be released.
B.A.M.A. signed to CTE earlier this year. He recently released his debut mixtape Street Idol with DJ Scream.
According to Trauma, who was celebrating his 10th year at the station last night at the Luckie Food Lounge in downtown ATL, he was too busy having a good time with his star-studded guest list to realize what was going on.
“I didn’t know what had happened, because we were all upstairs in the VIP - Me, Estelle, Luda[cris] and [Young] Jeezy - and I was talking to Jeezy and I was like we about to go downstairs, and perform,” he shared with . “So I grabbed Jeremih, Estelle and my artist Verse Simmons and we went downstairs and we started performing. And just doing what we do. He was doing ‘Birthday Sex’ and [Lil] Scrappy was performing and all of a sudden I was like damn where is everybody else at. And a couple of minutes later some people were like ‘they were fighting upstairs.’”
While the participants of the fight are still uncertain, Trauma says it happened upstairs in the VIP section. A police spokesman confirmed with the Atlanta-Journal Constitution that two men suffered stab wounds to the face. No arrests have been made as of yet. When contacted by DJ Drama declined to comment on the situation and a rep for CTE has yet to return phone calls or emails.

“I don’t think [anything is gonna happen],” he said. “I know at our Summer Jam, the way they do it, they space them out. They was like that last year. They both performed last year.
