Roland Collins (born November 23, 1985), better known by the stage name Troy Ave, is an American rapper from the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.

Legal issues
On May 26, 2016, Troy Ave was arrested for attempted murder and illegal weapon possession for shooting at a T.I. concert.[7][8][9]
During an event at Irving Plaza where T.I. and others were scheduled to perform, four people were shot one fatally, by a shooter from the VIP section of the event. The man who died, Ronald McPhatter 33, was said to be a friend of Troy. Collins was first taken to NYU Langone Medical Center then transferred to nearby NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue where he was arrested.[10] He was a primary suspect in the shooting.[11] While at the hospital, it was revealed he had a self-inflicted wound.[11]
