The hip-hop world was shocked and saddened by the news of Young Dolph’s death on November 17, 2023. The Memphis rapper was shot and killed while buying cookies at a local bakery, in what many believe was a targeted hit. While the police have arrested three suspects in connection with the murder, the motive and the mastermind behind the crime remain unclear.
However, some fans and media outlets have speculated that there might be a link between Young Dolph’s longtime rival, Yo Gotti, and his brother, Big Jook CMG, who is also a rapper and a member of Collective Music Group (CMG). According to AllHipHop, an old photo of Big Jook standing next to Hernandez Govan, the suspect accused of ordering the hit on Dolph, has emerged and raised suspicions. The photo shows Big Jook wearing a CMG pendant, suggesting that he and Govan are affiliated.
The History of Beef Between Young Dolph and Yo Gotti
Young Dolph and Yo Gotti have been feuding for years, dating back to 2014 when Dolph claimed that Gotti tried to sign him to his label but he refused. Dolph also accused Gotti of being jealous of his success and sneak dissing him on social media and in songs. Dolph responded by calling out Gotti by name and disrespecting him and his family on several tracks, such as “Play Wit Yo Bitch”, “King of Memphis” and “Gelato”.
The beef escalated in 2017, when Dolph’s SUV was shot at over 100 times in Charlotte, North Carolina. Although Dolph survived the attack thanks to his bulletproof vehicle, some people blamed Gotti and his crew for the shooting. One of Gotti’s associates, Howard “Keon” Wright, was later sentenced to 14 years in prison for his involvement in the shooting. Another CMG artist, Blac Youngsta, was also charged but later cleared of any wrongdoing.
The Evidence Against Big Jook CMG
Big Jook CMG is Yo Gotti’s older brother and a rapper who has released several mixtapes under the CMG label. He is also known for being involved in the streets and having a criminal record. In a video posted by Hood Educated, a popular hip-hop YouTuber, he claims that Big Jook CMG might have played a role in Young Dolph’s murder.
Hood Educated points out that Big Jook CMG was seen in a picture with Hernandez Govan, who is allegedly the person who hired the two shooters who killed Dolph. He also says that Dolph dissed Big Jook CMG in a video, where he said that he used to feed his kids and that he was a broke and fat person. Hood Educated suggests that this might have angered Big Jook CMG and motivated him to seek revenge.
Hood Educated also mentions that Big Jook CMG was reportedly taken in for questioning by the police after Dolph’s death, but there is no official confirmation of this. He says that Big Jook CMG might have been arrested or might be cooperating with the authorities to avoid prosecution.
The Denial of Big Jook CMG
Big Jook CMG has not publicly addressed the allegations against him or his involvement in Young Dolph’s murder. However, he has posted several videos on his Instagram account showing him enjoying his life on the beach and celebrating his mother’s birthday. He has also congratulated another CMG artist, Big GloRilla, for his success.
Big Jook CMG seems to be unfazed by the rumors and the backlash from Dolph’s fans, who have flooded his comment section with dolphin emojis and accusations. He has not deleted any of his posts or disabled his comments. He has also not shown any signs of remorse or sympathy for Dolph or his family.
Conclusion
The murder of Young Dolph is still under investigation and there is no definitive proof that Big Jook CMG or Yo Gotti had anything to do with it. However, the photo of Big Jook CMG with Hernandez Govan and the history of beef between Young Dolph and Yo Gotti have raised many questions and suspicions among fans and media outlets. Whether Big Jook CMG is innocent or guilty remains to be seen, but until then, he will continue to face scrutiny and criticism from those who loved Young Dolph.
