Police released on Thursday video surveillance footage taken at a Buckhead Waffle House where an Atlanta rapper was recently shot.

Jabriel Adburrahaman, also known as Yung Mazi, told police he had no idea who’d shot him about 3:45 a.m. Dec. 27.

He also said he'd been shot several times before and that God made him bulletproof.

Atlanta police spokesman Officer Donald Hannah said employees saw a bald man in dark clothing walk up to Yung Mazi’s table, point a gun and start shooting.

After being struck in the shoulder, the rapper was taken to Piedmont Hospital by his two brothers and later released.

Any information on this case can be submitted anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), online www.crimestoppersatlanta.org or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637). Persons do not have to give their name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $2,000.
