Alleged Court Docs Reveal Big Jook’s Alleged Bounties On Young Dolph & Other PRE Members

October 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New alleged court documents leaked accusing Yo Gotti’s late brother Big Jook of allegedly placing hits on various Paper Route Empire (PRE) members. For those unaware, this follows accusations that Jook allegedly placed the hit that took Dolph’s life, although this is still just an allegation that the court didn’t prove while assessing Dolph’s murderers’ cases. Nevertheless, the alleged hit list includes Dolph for $100K, Key Glock for $50K, Paper Route Woo for $50K, Big Moochie Grape for $5K, and Snupe Bandz for $20K. It’s unclear what specific case this alleged prosecution document is a part of, but folks are still discussing it.

Furthermore, this will likely be a tough case to prove and one that sadly came too late to prevent more bloodshed. An unknown suspect murdered Yo Gotti’s brother Big Jook in Memphis earlier this year, and these allegations concerning Young Dolph’s murder and the alleged hits out on PRE members emerged after this tragedy. However, we can’t speculate much based on these alleged court documents, as this is all still very complex and unclear for the general public. All we know is that the feud between Gotti’s camp and PRE reached overblown levels of violence regardless of whether or not they engaged in direct involvement.

No matter who was behind the Young Dolph murder, his family is at least grateful that the court reached a conviction in the case. “Today’s verdict brings relief and restores my confidence in the justice system,” his fiancée Mia Jaye wrote in part. “On behalf of my children, family, and myself, I would like to thank law enforcement, the prosecution, and everyone involved for their diligent work in presenting the facts that led to this conviction. We are also grateful to the public for standing with us and advocating for accountability throughout this process. This is just the beginning of our journey toward achieving full justice for Adolph, and we will patiently support the unfolding of that process.”

“We ask you to remember the man who enjoyed being a father and spending time with his family, [and] we ask that you remember the man who enjoyed giving opportunities to those who were often overlooked and counted out,” Young Dolph’s sister remarked. “We ask that you remember the man who enjoyed giving back to others and being an inspiration to those who come from less-than-ideal backgrounds.”

Yo Gotti made his first public appearance since the death of his brother, Big Jook, on Friday night in Detroit at 42 Dugg’s concert at Little Caesars Arena. On stage, he appeared to be wearing a bulletproof vest under his shirt. Clips of the performance are circulating on social media. Jook was shot and killed outside a Memphis restaurant, last weekend.

When DJ Akademiks shared a clip of Gotti’s appearance, many fans were surprised to see him back to work this quickly. “N***a just buried 2 of his family members and out here on stage I know n****s grieve differently but wtf,” one user wrote. Another complained about people being insensitive about the situation in the face of tragedy. “I cant believe people so insensitive in the comments like they really know these famous people like he died in front of his family have some respect karma spend the bend for us all,” they commented.

Fans aren’t the only ones who have spoken out in the wake of Jook’s death. Rick Ross also called for an end to gun violence in a message on social media. “I flew out of Houston 3 a.m., got back to Miami,” Ross said. “I’m headed to an event titled 5,000 Role Models where we acknowledging the young leaders, the young kings, our young brothers. We gotta empower the brothers. And while I’m speaking on this, our brothers in Memphis: I need y’all to know there’s only one way to wisdom and wealth, and that’s through each other. You understand? Through each other. Put the ski masks down. Put the guns down. Let’s embrace each other now. Let’s show that love. Rest in peace to all our good brothers.”

Memphis Police Update Big Jook Murder Case With Pictures Of Suspect’s Vehicle

January 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yo Gotti’s older brother Big Jook was tragically shot and killed outside of a Memphis restaurant on Saturday (January 13), and Memphis police are working hard to find the culprit. Moreover, they released images of a white Ford Explorer, and according to FOX13, investigators believe that this is the vehicle and person responsible. In addition, they noted some of its features: no license plate, dark-tinted windows, and black wheels. As such, they seek help from locals and the general public when it comes to tracing the culprit down and solving the case of Jook (real name Anthony Mims) promptly. Law enforcement and investigators believe that the suspect or suspects executed a targeted attack, not a random act of violence.

Furthermore, Memphis PD responded to gunshot reports outside Perignons Restaurant and Event Center. Medical officials pronounced Big Jook dead after he arrived at St. Francis Hospital, whereas another injured victim was airlifted to Regional One Health in a critical state. Another report claims that Yo Gotti and Jook’s mother was with him at the time of the shooting, and fled the scene before the bullets fatally struck him. This is a largely unconfirmed report, though, so take it with a grain of salt as more information comes out in the near future.

While police haven’t arrested or identified any suspects yet, they provided pictures of the alleged suspect’s car thanks to video footage they received of the incident. “We do feel that [the suspect] possibly targeted [the victim],” Memphis Police’s Deputy Chief Paul Wright theorized at a press conference. Shortly after this tragedy, footage circled online of Big Jook and Yo Gotti at a relative’s funeral that took place shortly before it. We know they likely spent Christmas together, as Gotti gave lavish gifts to his family.

Meanwhile, other folks pointed to the CMG boss‘ brother’s eerie caption for his last Instagram post before he passed. “They don’t want to face you they wanna snake you… Stay alert 2 stay alive watch your back at all times… Put snakes on the plate and eat great.” For more news and the latest updates on Yo Gotti and this case, stay up to date on HNHH.

Jook was reportedly killed on Winchester Road in the southeast neighborhood of Mendenhall Estates. Furthermore, Jook was killed soon after attending a funeral in the area. No further details about the shooting are available at the time of writing. Videos and pictures appearing to show people attending to Jook have circulated by not been substantiated.

Not only was Jook close to his brother, but he also appeared to play a pivotal role in the business side of Gotti’s label, Collective Music. However, wild speculation has begun to emerge online ever since Jook’s death was announced. Many people believe that the death could be related to the murder of Young Dolph. Dolph and Gotti were feuding consistently before Dolph’s death. However, no substantiated link between Jook’s death and Dolph’s murder.

Yo Gotti Speaks On MLS Ownership

It’s a shocking moment for Gotti and his family, especially given how well things had been going with for the rapper. Last year, he gave a glowing interview about his ownership of the MLS’ DC United. “It was a few years ago when I joined the club as an owner, part of the ownership club. I think diversifying growth as an entrepreneur, I mean, whoever thought we would own part of a professional sports team? I try to show to the young guys in my city by action, what we can do and what we can become if we stay determined and disciplined and on top of what we’re trying to do as young hustlers and entrepreneurs,” Gotti told Ebro Darden of Apple Music. He also teamed up with the First Lady to promote the 2023 All-Star Game.

However, 2023 was a disappointing season for the DC team. They finished 23rd in the overall MLS standings. United have not finished higher than 16th since 2019, when they finished 10th. It also marked the first full season of England soccer legend Wayne Rooney as head coach. However, Rooney left after the season for an unsuccessful coaching stint with English club Birmingham City.
