Beanie Sigel was wounded by gunfire during an attempted robbery early Thursday.
The holdup was attempted around 7 a.m. by five males traveling in two cars, but there was some confusion about where the shooting took place, police said.
Sigel's attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., said the shooting appeared to be "a random act of violence."
The 32-year-old rapper spent a few hours at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania before leaving around 11:40 a.m. Thursday in a wheelchair, wearing a hospital gown, blue jeans and a blanket over his head. He also had a bloodstained towel on his right shoulder.
After getting into a black Mercedes, Sigel lowered the car window and said, "I got shot. I'm cool."
Moments later, he pulled his hospital gown aside and showed a bandage on his left shoulder to reporters. His left arm was in a sling and his left hand was bloody, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on its Web site.
Asked about the incident outside the hospital, Sigel said, "Somebody robbing me."
At one point, he pointed his finger up, possibly gesturing to his head, and said, "They missed."
