Ever get the feeling that the stars are conspiring to mess with your day? Well, mid-June 2025 rolled in with a cosmic bang when Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave found himself in a real-life showdown in San Diego, brandishing a gun as a masked intruder charged at him and celebrity chef Geoff Cole outside a garage. Now, with the Sun shining in Gemini—known for quick thinking and, shall we say, a certain restlessness—perhaps it’s no surprise that Troy’s reflexes kicked in faster than you can say “retrograde.” But here’s the kicker: is this just a daring defense or a carefully choreographed scene worthy of a music video? Geoff Cole sure thinks Troy saved his life, while the internet’s buzzing with doubt, suspicion, and the usual sprinkle of skepticism. Strap in, because this saga is anything but predictable.

Troy Ave fired his weapon during an attempted robbery in San Diego after a masked suspect charged at him and celebrity chef Geoff Cole outside a garage in mid-June 2025.
Surveillance footage captured the tense moment as a man crept through an alley and rushed Cole. Without hesitation, Troy Ave pulled a handgun and opened fire, sending the would-be thief running.
The Brooklyn rapper chased the suspect, firing at least two more shots. It remains unclear whether any bullets hit the target.
Cole publicly thanked Troy on Instagram on Tuesday (July 16), crediting him with possibly saving his life.
“I came home after Celebrating the success of a sold out Chef Fest with Love & support from all over the West Coast!” he wrote. “And a hater from the SAME CITY tried 2 take it all away! This the 2nd time but it WON’T be a 3rd! s/o 2 my BROTHER Ave for Holding it Down in a situation where most woulda RAN or FOLDED.”
While some praised Troy Ave’s fast reaction, others on social media weren’t buying it. Many accused the pair of staging the incident for attention.
“Y’all believe anything on here. Great promotion for that song tho,” one person commented.
“You could have done a different take and made it look a little more believable,” another wrote.
“Maaannn u was reaching for the strap before buddy came round the corner. Why u gotta fake that s### for clout? S### corny af,” a third person added.
The incident adds another chapter to Troy Ave’s history of gun violence. He previously served time in connection with a 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza in New York.
