It comes after rapper 2 Low appeared to fire a gun in his pocket during a live interview.
The 46-year-old was live on the One on One Wit Mike D podcast when a loud bang and flash of orange erupted from his jean pocket.
As rapper 2 Low was listening to podcast host Mike D about choices people make in life, footage shows him casually reaching into his jean pocket.
Suddenly a massively loud bang is heard, with a flash of orange even visible through 2 Low's jeans as he initially jumps before freezing in sheer shock and panic.
Mike D, unsure of where the bang came from, looks at his podcast producers, asking with a confused expression: "Who shot who?"
Meanwhile 2 Low is still holding the same terrified expression as when the shot was fired.

He then pulls the gun out slightly before tucking it back into his pocket as he and Mike D look on the floor, presumably for the bullet.
No injuries were reported from the incident - and it's not clear whether the incident was a stunt or not.
