Wack 100 believes the 2021 on set shooting involving Alec Baldwin highlights what he sees as a clear double standard in how gun incidents are viewed when actors are involved compared to rappers. He shared his perspective during a conversation with Adam22 on No Jumper.
The discussion started around violent lyrics in hip hop before Wack shifted the focus to Baldwin, whom Adam appeared to defend. Taking an opposing stance, Wack argued, "The bottom line is he's responsible for making sure these guns are prop guns," he said. "... Don't no live round mysteriously show up on a set. That's premeditated. One of your people is responsible for bringing a live round in and loading it in his firearm."
Adam quickly pushed back on that claim. "Literally nobody else on the face of the planet thinks that was premeditated besides you," he replied. "I'm not gonna get suckered into this... You probably never thought about this until five seconds ago."
The exchange sparked plenty of debate online, with people split over Wack’s take. "At first I was like ? but then when I thought about ? he’s correct it’s a movie set why would live rounds be on a set where they are pretending to shoot people. Definitely done with some intention," one user posted on X formerly known as Twitter. Another wrote, "This might be the dumbest conversation ever. I never realized Wack was this dense. Or maybe this is the depths he'll sink to in order to go viral and get a check."
Alec Baldwin's "Rust" Shooting
In the case itself, Alec Baldwin discharged a real bullet from a revolver he was handling as a prop while filming the movie Rust in 2021. Prosecutors later charged him with one count of involuntary manslaughter, and he entered a plea of not guilty. The charge was ultimately dismissed after a judge determined that investigators failed to turn over evidence to the defense involving ammunition, describing the handling of that material as "intentional and deliberate."
Rust was eventually released in May 2025. The film earned $26,831 at the box office despite carrying an $8 million production budget. The cast also included Patrick Scott McDermott, Josh Hopkins, Frances Fisher, and Travis Fimmel.
