Reports of shots fired at the Miami house of rapper Lil Wayne

Police have confirmed that a 911 call claiming to have been made from inside the Miami Beach home of rapper Lil Wayne on Wednesday reporting four people had been shot was a hoax.

A major contingent of police and SWAT surrounded the expansive $9.4 million property at 94 Largorce Circle after the call was placed at 12.40pm.

Officials said a man called Miami Police Department saying he had shot four people and 'requested assistance'. 
According to WSVN, the 32-year-old performer - real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. - is in Miami today but was not at home at the time of the incident.

Officers entered the 10-bedroom waterfront and inspected each room, soon declaring it all-clear and establishing the report a sham.

Lil Wayne Tweeted this afternoon: 'Prank call mane.'

Investigators are now trying to determine who made the call and from where.

On Saturday, police were called to the same house around 3am amid reports of a lurker,TMZ reported at the weekend.

Officers arrived at the home and, after speaking with a man at the site, gave it the all-clear.

Lil Wayne was not at home at the time and police did not find anyone on the premises.

On the same day reports emerged on social media that Lil Wayne had been killed during a shooting at a club in Charlotte, North Carolina.


He had been pictured at Label Club with fellow rapper T.I., however there was no further suggestion he was still there at the time of the shooting or that he was injured in the shooting.

Police said two people were injured with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds
