A watch commander for the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE that authorities received a call of “shots fired” at approximately 10:25 p.m. on Thursday night. After arriving on the scene, the police were then able to confirm that shots had been fired “at a building in the 900 block of North Alpine Drive.”
Although police were not able to confirm the names of those present when the shooting took place, they shared that there were no reported injuries and investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Both West, 41, and Tekashi, 22, were on set at the time, according toThe Blast, although Minaj, 35, was not.
“Kanye was never in danger,” a source tells PEOPLE. “The shooting happened outside of the house. It was still a frightening situation and Kanye left shortly after. They decided to cancel the video shoot to make sure everyone was safe. Right after the shots were fired, Tekashi’s bodyguards acted frantic. They believed he was the target. Tekashi left the property within minutes of the shooting.”
Minaj and Tekashi — who wassentenced to four years probationin October, years after he was arrested for his alleged involvement in a child sex case — previously collaborated on track “FEFE.”
