Melvin Adams (Fish Scales), a solo artist and member of the beloved southern rap group Nappy Roots, was shot late Wednesday night during a robbery and attempted kidnapping outside Atlantucky Brewing in Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill neighborhood. He is currently recovering at a local hospital. The news was first reported by local NBC affiliate 11 Alive and later confirmed by a representative of Nappy Roots on the group’s verified Instagram page.
“Last night our brother, Scales [sic] was a victim of an attempted robbery… in Atlanta after closing our brewery, Atlantucky,” their initial post — apparently a Notes app screenshot — reads. (Adams co-owns Atlantucky Brewing with fellow Nappy Roots member William Hughes, aka Skinny Deville.) “We are blessed to say that he is stable and in good spirits after suffering a leg injury. Luckily, none of our dedicated patrons of Atlantucky were at the scene or harmed during the robbery.” According to a statement released by the Atlanta Police Department, however, Adams was walking on the brewery’s parking deck with a customer when the two suspects initially attacked him.
It was the other victim, according to the department, who called the robbery in after fleeing on foot. Adams, on the other hand, was held at gunpoint while the robbers forced him to drive his vehicle to his home in Hapesville, a nearby suburb. Adams then attempted to escape on foot and was shot in the process.

Joe Otterson TV ReporterWith streamers making their biggest bets yet on content — and more of them about to include advertising options — Variety spoke with Dan Erlij and Allan Haldeman, UTA co-heads of TV literary, about the state of the television industry.In a rare joint interview, the two covered a wide range of topics, such as Netflix’s and HBO’s domination of the Emmys, and how AVOD streaming could bring “transparency we can find in terms of making deals.” The duo have more than 40 years at the agency between them, as well as a roster of A-list clients that includes “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong, “The Good Fight” duo Robert and Michelle King, and “Atlanta” director and executive producer Hiro Murai. I want to use the Emmy nominations as a starting point. In particular, the fact that HBO/HBO Max got 140 nominations and Netflix got 105. You’d have to add up the next seven platform totals to equal that 245 number. Is it good or bad to have two major players dominating the awards landscape?Erlij: I would say I think you have to look at the shows that are being nominated first and foremost.
