Yo Gotti’s Brother Accused Of Allegedly Putting $100K Hit On Young Dolph
Young Dolph’s murder case has been seeing some weird developments since its inception, but things are getting even more odd. Today marks the first day of his murder trial, as just a couple of days ago a jury had been seated. Judge Jennifer Mitchell is overlooking it all the main three suspects are still Justin Johnson, Cornelius Smith, and Hernandez Govan. Leading up to this morning/afternoon, Govan has been constantly painted as the possible head honcho behind the murder of the beloved Memphis rapper.
However, prosecutors are making a shocking accusation against the deceased brother of Dolph’s longtime foe, Yo Gotti. According to an update from The Neighborhood Talk, Big Jook allegedly was the one to put the hit out on the Paper Route Empire boss. This allegation comes from Shelby County Assistant District Attorney Paul Hagerman. Mr. Hagerman claims that Jook put out a $100,000 reward and Justin Johnson, one of the alleged gunmen, was looking to sign to CMG, Gotti’s label. So, to earn respect and that money, he was the one who gunned down Dolph.

“Big Jook, the person I told you about before, the number two guy at CMG, he’s put out a hit, a hit, $100,000 to whoever kills Dolph”, Hagerman said. “He has met with Justin (Johnson). He has met with Cornelius (Smith) and they think they’re ready to do it”. They also claim to have video evidence of Johnson firing at Dolph. Given Dolph and Gotti’s history, this makes things incredibly interesting and certainly makes us wonder if the latter will have come to court. Right now, the trial seems to be still happening.

August Alsina says that the music industry will eventually be exposed for fostering a “diabolical” level of misconduct behind the scenes. He shared his opinion on the industry during a rant on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after fans complained about not getting new music from the singer. “I have the biggest bone to pick with him for not doing music anymore. How dare you!” one user wrote, prompting Alsina’s response.
“One day it’ll be revealed the diabolical level of doxxing, railroading, stonewalling, road blocking, gas lighting & betrayal that goes on behind the scenes within this industry,” he wrote. “Abuse of power, all in the name of up-keeping facades, promotion of lies and illusions; While simultaneously hiding of hands to make it look as though you’re fighting an invisible boogey-man. In this industry there is no HR to report this kind of behavior to. BUT GOD has never slept on my prayers or report. http://Give.It.Time!

Khloe Kardashian Says She Was At A Diddy Party With Justin Bieber In Old Clip
Khloe Kardashian is another celebrity that has some sort of affiliation with Diddy, according to an old clip. A report from TMZ says that there’s a clip from a 2014 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians resurfacing that sees Khloe chatting with sister Kourtney about a party in which a lot of the guests were “butt-naked”. The former even jokes, telling Travis Barker’s partner, “You would have loved it!”. Later in that portion of the episode, Courtney tries to guess the other equally high-profile guests in attendance.
“Diddy, Quincy, Justin Bieber, French Montana…?”. Khloe nods to all of them to confirm she was correct. Then, Khloe mentions during a bowling alley get-together that she “got on a plane at 5:30 a.m.”. Courtney then tells her friend that’s with them that Khloe was up all night when she got back and was pretty drunk. At the alley, she did appear to be hung over, and even seemed to get upset with Courtney for messing with her about going.
