Gucci Mane quickly hopped on social media to pray tribute to Young Dolph. |
The Shelby County Sheriff's Department and Memphis Police confirmed that Adolphus Thornton, Jr. known as Young Dolph was shot and killed on Wednesday.
He was in the South Memphis area buying cookies for his children.
The 36-year old rapper and CEO of Paper Route Empire Music was apparently shot at Makeda's Butter Cookies. He was killed in a drive-by shooting.
The rapper is affiliated with Gucci Mane, the Atlanta based rapper who Dolph frequently collaborated with.
Maurice Hill, the owner of the store said that the rapper entered into the store to buy cookies when a vehicle approached him outside and opened fire. He was shot and killed around 1pm Central Time.
I’m definitely waaay before my time

7 days ago Young Dolph was showing love and promoting a local memphis cookie business he frequents and today they killed him right outside. Sad. pic.twitter.com/CUu307V5ew

The rapper's Lamborghini sat in the parking lot of the store.
Dolph was well known in the city of Memphis. He often would do community work for the residents of his hometown.
He survived a shooting in 2017. He was shot in Los Angeles and survived his injuries. We covered his first shooting. The terrorist was affiliated with rival rapper Yo Gotti.
I got a question 🤔❓
— Yo Gotti (@YoGotti) November 17, 2021
This may signal an apparent assassination by allies or Yo Gotti himself. These allegations will come forth and the Memphis Police, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and FBI will single out Gotti and Dolph's affiliations to gang activity.
This is the latest major shock in the junk food media.
Dolph was known for putting out independent releases under his Paper Route Empire label.
Gun violence leaves two children without a father. |
Dolph was born in Chicago in 1985. He moved to Memphis when he two years old. He has two sisters and two brothers and was cousins to Juice Wrld, a rapper who died from a seizure from an apparent drug overdose.
Dolph has released five albums, 19 mixtapes, two extended plays and collaborated with the likes of Gucci Mane, Peewee Longway, Key Glock, Megan Thee Stallion, G Herbo, Young Scooter, 2 Chainz, Berner and numerous others.
R. I.P. to my friend Dolph this broke my heart

Rest Up Dolph 🐬 pray for @KeyGLOCK

The suspect will be found and they will be charged with first-degree murder. Obviously the terrorist knew the rapper had a luxury vehicle and he was well known around the community.
He leaves behind two children. The hip-hop community is mourning the loss of a great talent.
It never happens in your community....... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how this gun reform is taking away your rights. I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. I don't want hear folks say this is not white privilege. I don't want to hear folks say masks impede their freedoms. I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
Young Dolph was promoting a local establishment when he was shot and killed. |
