Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta reality star Raymond "Benzino" Scott was shot by his nephew during his mother's funeral procession in Massachusetts.

According to the Associated Press, the rapper and reality star was driving his SUV along the procession when his 36-year-old family member, Gai Scott pulled alongside and fired several shots. The reality star struck in the arm and grazed by a bullet on his back. Gai was later charged with assault with intent to murder and will be arraigned Monday.

In an interview with CBS in Boston, the rapper explaind the dramatic scene:

"As I got to the beginning of the procession where the hearse was, the perpetrator rolled down a car window and started shooting and shooting. They wouldn't let me in. I had blood all over me. I didn't want to be around them. I felt like, I didn't want any problems. I can love my mother and there doesn't have to be any problems with family. I looked over, there was a car, and all I saw was a gun shooting at me, firing seven or eight shots. I was trying to duck and dodge, drive around it, maneuver the car, I was bleeding a lot. I was driving with my thumb in my shoulder to try to stop the bleeding."
