Social media was full of people asking what was going on after rumours emerged claiming that rapper Nines, real name Courtney Freckleton, had been stabbed and was in a critical condition.

Police later released a statement confirming that a man had been stabbed in the location where Nines was rumoured to have been injured, but the victim in that incident has not yet been named.
All the confusion sparked a flurry of questions from concerned fans who were worried that Nines may have been stabbed – or even worse, was dead – and they sent their best wishes to the ‘I See You Shining’ rapper if the rumours are true.
Nines is a member of the group Ice City Boyz, along with fellow rapper Skrapz, but whilst Skrapz has stayed silent on the rumours, Caroline Simionescu-Marin, the A&R Manager at Nines’ label XL Recordings who worked closely with the rapper on his critically acclaimed album ‘Crop Circle’ appeared to confirm the stories, simply tweeting the words ‘Pray hard’.
