It was all smiles Wednesday night at Irving Plaza, where rapper T.I. posed for photos with fellow musicians before his scheduled hip-hop concert.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris, hugged Brooklyn hip-hop recording artist Jermaine Coleman, better known by his stage name, Maino.

Rapper-producer Anderson Paak and Uncle Murda (Leonard Grant) of Brooklyn also stopped by for hugs and laughs.

Shortly after the backstage banter, however, bullets flew — killing one man and injuring three other people, including rapper Troy Ave (Roland Collins).
