A Georgia-based rapper's vehicle was shot up during a drive-by over the weekend, making him the fourth artist targeted within a span of three days.
YFN Lucci's red Mercedes-Benz SUV was hit with a hail of bullets Friday night in Atlanta.
It's unclear if the 28-year-old, whose real name is Rayshawn Lamar Bennet, was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
However, the driver of Lucci's vehicle suffered a gunshot wound, according to TMZ.
Lucci's driver was reportedly shot in the shoulder when the suspects opened fire on the SUV.
Photos shows the vehicle riddled with more than a dozen bullet holes that tore through the rear window and door. Bullets also pierced the back tire of the SUV.

The shooting was reported on Wednesday, but it occurred during the same weekend three other rappers were targeted in shootings.
Earlier on Friday, two party buses filled with rapper Young Thug's team were shot up in Miami. Young Thug was not involved in the shooting, but he did arrive to the scene later.
A spokesperson for Young Thug told TMZ that Young Thug 'did not get shot at'.
According to the spokesperson, the shots were aimed at DJ Keyz, who was one of three people injured.
Another man and a woman were injured after a car passing the entourage along Interstate 95 opened fire.
According to TMZ, the two buses were traveling down I-95 around 6am Friday morning.

Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, and his crew were reportedly heading to the Miami Beach Hotel before the shooting occurred.
The 27-year-old rapper had performed at the LIV Nightclub Thursday night and was scheduled to perform again Saturday at the Rolling Loud Festival.
In the most notable weekend shooting, gunmen in a passing Cadillac Escalade opened fire on rapper NBA YoungBoy as he and his 10-member entourage exited Trump International Beach Resort Miami in Sunny Isles Beach on Sunday afternoon.
Those shots wounded the rapper's 19-year-old girlfriend, Kaylyn Marie Long, and grazed a five-year-old bystander.

Some members of YoungBoy's party, who were legally armed, returned fire, Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said. Pictured is the black SUV that YoungBoy was riding in at the time of the shooting
Some members of YoungBoy's party, who were legally armed, returned fire, Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said.
One of those bullets fatally struck a 43-year-old bystander, Mohamad Jradi, as he sat in his van across the street.
No members of YoungBoy's party will be charged, as they fired in self-defense, Zabaleta said.
Four men who were later detained at the stadium as possible suspects were not connected to the shooting and were released, he said.
There did not appear to be any connection to a shooting in nearby Aventura that occurred about a half-hour earlier, Zabaleta said.
YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, was on Sunday's lineup of performers for the Rolling Loud Festival, a three-day spectacular that concluded Sunday at the Miami Dolphins stadium.
The attack on YoungBoy occurred about 36 hours after Chicago-based rapper AAB Hellabandz, 24, was fatally shot outside the Cameo nightclub on a crowded Miami Beach street. A second person was hospitalized.
Security video released by Miami Beach police on Monday showed people running or ducking behind parked cars as vehicles sped away in the moments after Saturday's shooting.
Amid the chaos, the man police identified as the suspect jogged away.
No arrests have been made, and Hellabandz, whose real name was Ameer Golston, was not on the list of performers at the festival.
Rodriguez said Golston was wanted in Atlanta for attempted murder and armed robbery.
He said detectives are trying to determine if there are any ties to the Atlanta case, the NBA YoungBoy shooting or the Young Thug incident Friday morning.
No one was seriously injured when a car passing them on Interstate 95 opened fire.
Three out of the four shootings involved performers or guests of the Rolling Loud Festival.
Police are trying to determine if the shootings are connected.
'It is all something we are investigating, but it is too early to tell,' Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez said Monday. No one has been arrested.
Rolling Loud organizers did not return calls and emails seeking comment.
Meanwhile, rapper Kodak Black (pictured), who was also scheduled to perform at the Rolling Loud Festival, pleaded not guilty to federal weapons charges on Wednesday. He was arrested shortly before taking the stage at the festival on Saturday
The festival's Twitter account posted a message Monday reading, 'IF YOU DIDN'T ENJOY ROLLING LOUD DESPITE THE HICCUPS, STAY HOME NEXT YEAR...THIS IS HIP-HOP.'
The account was later suspended.
Meanwhile, rapper Kodak Black, who was also scheduled to perform at the Rolling Loud Festival, pleaded not guilty to federal weapons charges on Wednesday.
He was arrested shortly before taking the stage at the festival on Saturday.
Following Black's arrest, rapper Lil Wayne pulled out of the festival.
US Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres granted the 21-year-old, whose real name is Bill Kapri, release on $550,000 bond with house arrest, although he faces other criminal cases that could keep him locked up.
Assistant US Attorney Bruce Brown said Black was out on bail awaiting trial in a South Carolina sexual assault case - and that bail is likely to be revoked with these new charges.
Even with the possibility Black will be jailed there, Brown listed numerous other crimes the rapper has been involved in since he was a juvenile.
'Wherever he goes, your honor, there's going to be guns, drugs and shootings,' the prosecutors said, adding that Black also might be at risk of fleeing.
Black did not speak at the hearing.
His attorney, Bradford Cohen, said the rapper mistakenly failed to indicate that he's currently under indictment while filling out the form before purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer.
