Nicki Minaj had a lucky escape.
Bullets that fired at Tekashi69s music video shoot had entered the rappers dressing room – but she had not arrived at the scene yet.
The news comes after Kanye West confirmed his safety to worried fans after it was reported he was at the mansion where the video was being filmed.
Now, sources close to the production have told TMZ that at least one bullet pierced the window of the master bedroom where Nicki and her crew were set to chill during the video shoot.
The publication claims that the original plan was for Tekashi, also known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, to be in that room, but he decided the day before that the Barbie Dreams hitmaker should have it.

Tekashi was filming a video at an $80 million (£61 million) estate in Beverly Hills on Thursday night when gunshots were reportedly heard ringing out.
According to TMZ, police received a call at 10.25pm and rushed to the shoot.
A witness told the website that eight shots were fired in an apparent drive-by.
One bullet entered a bedroom of the building. Nobody was hurt in the incident.
Production of the music video was halted following the incident as police are continuing to investigate the scene.
50 Cent posted this picture of a bullet hole in a bedroom window at the reported house where Tekashis video was shooting.
On Friday Kanye, who left immediately after the shooting, took to social media to let everyone know he was fine.
Yeezy also confirmed that wife Kim Kardashian and the rest of the family were safe after The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was forced to evacuate her home after a wildfire ripped through her neighbourhood.
But worried fans were to told exhale and relax as the rapper tweeted: Thank you for everyones prayers. Our family is safe and close.
The commotion at the Tekashi video shoot comes three months after shots were fired near the set of Tekashis video with 50 Cent.
The rappers were filming in Brooklyn when a car is believed to have shown up, with one of its occupants firing off 11 shots.

He is not required to register as a sex offender and must refrain from posting sexually explicit material or violent images of children or women.

In 2015, Hernandez admitted using a 13-year-old in a sexual act. He made the confession as part of a youth offender plea deal and this case would be closed on good behaviour after two years.
Hernandez was then also required to carry out 300 hours of community service and complete his education (GED).
Hours after his sentencing, one of the rappers crew was shot at a celebration in a restaurant where a brawl broke out.
