Nappy Roots’ Fish Scales Kidnapped, Robbed And Shot At Own Brewery
Fish Scales of the legendary Hip Hop group Nappy Roots was reportedly kidnapped, robbed at gunpoint and shot at his Atlanta brewery on Wednesday night (August 17).

The brewery remains closed but is scheduled to reopen on Friday (August 19).
