Troy Ave‘s going from hero to zero … ‘trigger it seems he did NOT stand as much as an armed robber — as an alternative, he and his buddy staged a shootout for social media clout.

Here is the deal … Troy’s pal, chef Geoff Cole, posted a wild video Tuesday purportedly displaying a gunman sneaking up on each of them outdoors Geoff’s San Diego space dwelling, solely to have Troy whip out his personal handgun and hearth on the supposed assailant.

Nicely, sources who’ve been in direct contact with the bogus unhealthy boys have confirmed the entire scene was pretend. Nobody truly tried to rob Geoff, and we’re advised Troy didn’t truly hearth any reside rounds.

We have made repeated calls to Geoff, however — not shockingly — he is not choosing up.
