We recently profiled clothing designer Miguel Caballero and his line of bullet proof high end fashion.  We decided to go a little deeper and find out who could have benefited from wearing bullet proof clothes.  Today we look at 10 rappers who could have used Caballero’s clothes to either save their life or prwheevent those nasty bullet wound scars.

They are in order of who could have used bullet proof clothes the least to the greatest (all could have used it, but some could have used it more than others).

akon10.   Akon – Shot 1 Time

2004 New Jersey – Was shot in the shoulder during a drive-by shooting incident that also killed his manager Robert Montanez.  Akon then put on his pair of Ice Creams and made a full recovery.

fabolous9.  Fabolous – Shot 1 Time

2006 New York - Shot in the right leg leaving a restaurant with his entourage.  Rumor has it it was over a woman.  Instead of waiting for the police he and his crew fled away and got pulled over for running a red light.  They were then arrested for possessing unlicensed firearms.  He vowed never to get caught up in drama because of “his bikini clad hoes“.

obie trice8.  Obie Trice – Shot 2 Times

2005 Detroit – Shot twice while driving on a Detriot freeway.  After the shooting he managed to pull off the highway and his girlfriend who was riding with him at the time was able to call for help.  One of the bullets is still lodged in his head.

lloyd banks7.  Lloyd Banks – Shot 2 Times

2001 New York - Shot in the abdomen twice with one bullet tearing through his liver.  Amazingly, he ran himself to the hospital, got hit by a car, and woke up in the hospital with the nurses screaming “The buildings fell!”  It was September 11, 2001.

camron 26.  Cam’ron – Shot 3 Times

2005 Washington D.C. – While stopped at a light in his Lamborghini a would-be carjacker try to jack his car, but Cam’ron refused an got shot 3 times in the arms (while holding the steering wheel).  The carjacker fled away and Cam’ron drove aimlessly around until a fan found him and took him to the hospital.  Notable quote:  “They didn’t get anything…I still got my car and my jewelry.”


ol dirty bastard5.  Ol’Dirty Bastard – Shot 3 Times

1994 New York -Shot in the abdomen after an argument with another rapper.  1998 New York - Shot in the back and the arm after a home robbery attempt at his girlfriend’s house, but survived.  What ultimately killed him was a drug overdose in 2004.

Notorious BIG4.  Notorious BIG – Shot 4 Times

1997 Los Angeles – Shot 4 times in the chest and killed after leaving a party in Los Angeles.  The killer was reportedly wearing a blue suit and bow tie.

the game3.  The Game – Shot 5 Times

2001 Los Angeles – Shot 5 times when he was 18 during a failed drug deal.  Places he was shot includes heart, stomach, arms, and legs.  After his coma he checked himself out of the hostpital and decided to get serious about rapping.

50 Cent2.  50 Cent – Shot 9 Times

2000 New York – Shot 9 times including his hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest and left cheek during a robbery attempt.  A robber told him to give him the jewelry from his house, but instead 50 Cent went to his car.  50 Cent now wears a bullet proof vest when he goes out in public.  He was supposedly shot by a white man, that’s why he is still currently a self proclaimed racist that uses black toilet paper to wipe his ass.

tupac1.  Tupac – Shot 9 Times

1994 New York – Shot 5 times in the lobby of a recording studio: twice in the head, twice in the groin, and once through the arm and thigh.  This did not kill him as he checked himself out of the hospital 3 hours after he underwent surgery to make a court appearance.  1996 Las Vegas - Shot 4 times in a drive-by shooting.  He was shot in the chest, pelvis, right hand, and thigh.  He died 6 days later.
