Lil Wayne's two tour buses came under gunfire early Sunday morning in Atlanta, Georgia, with local cops confirming that the vehicles were shot 'multiple times.'

Witnesses reported the gunfire erupted from two passing cars as they left the Compound night club. No one was injured in the incident.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta police spokeswoman Elizabeth Espy said officers were called to the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Peachtree Road at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday 'regarding someone shooting at a bus that Lil Wayne was on.'

'Witnesses could only provide a limited description of the suspect vehicles,' Espy said. 'They were described as two white vehicles, possibly a Corvette-style vehicle and an SUV.'

The rapper performed Saturday night at the Compound club and the shots rang out minutes after the buses left the nightclub and were traveling on Interstate 285.

TMZ reported Weezy and a few other Young Money execs and artists, including Lil Twist and Super Hood, were on board at least one of the buses at the time of the shooting.

On March 11, a major contingent of Police and SWAT surrounded Lil Wayne's Miami mansion after a 911 call, from someone claiming to be inside the home, reported four people had been shot.

It was later reported to be a hoax.

Just a few days earlier, police were called to the same house around 3am amid reports of someone 'lurking' on the property.

Lil Wayne was not at home at the time and police did not find anyone on the premises.
