NBA Ben10 (real name Ben Anthony Fields), a Baton Rouge rapper and close affiliate of NBA YoungBoy, has publicly confirmed he is using a wheelchair and unable to walk after being shot in the neck during a chaotic incident at Confessions restaurant in Houston.
The 26-year-old artist shared a direct video update from his wheelchair at night, delivering a message of resilience. He stated that while he cannot walk for months, he remains focused on recovery and moving forward with determination.
The shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. on April 8, 2026, inside the Upper Kirby neighborhood spot. According to federal court documents and surveillance footage, Fields and others approached Detroit rapper Allstar JR (Jeremy Christopher Ford) in what escalated into a physical confrontation involving an alleged attempt to rob him of his jewelry. During the struggle, shots were fired, critically injuring Fields and another man.
Initial hospital updates were concerning, with reports of possible paralysis below the waist due to the neck wound. Death rumors spread quickly online, but family members and associates confirmed he was alive and fighting. In the weeks following, Fields shared hospital videos showing small moments of recovery, such as eating tacos and receiving care from loved ones.
This incident follows a pattern of violence affecting rappers in the scene, similar to other high-profile cases covered on the site like gun-related accidents during interviews and ongoing federal cases involving hip-hop figures.
Fields has shown strong determination in his healing process. His recent wheelchair video uses a split-screen format with pre-shooting confident images, addressing supporters directly while emphasizing loyalty and progress. This update comes after a second shooting on May 12, 2026, in Baton Rouge, where he was one of three people injured.
The Houston event appears rooted in street tensions and possible robbery motives tied to jewelry and local rap affiliations. Allstar JR faces federal charges, including felon-in-possession of a firearm, with prosecutors citing his music references to the incident. He has been held without bond.
As part of the Never Broke Again collective, Fields has built his profile through social media and ventures like Slime Design Clothing. Fans have reacted with concern, admiration for his spirit, and prayers for full recovery. His story underscores the real human cost of violence in the rap community, a recurring theme in recent crime stories on the site.
His current condition remains day-to-day, with mobility limited to wheelchair use for the foreseeable months. No full official medical prognosis has been released publicly beyond initial notes, but his visible defiance signals a strong will to overcome these obstacles.
