Young Dolph’s Alleged Shooter Says He Got Just $800 Of The Promised $40,000

by

Day one of Young Dolph’s murder trial is presenting some interesting evidence so far. Prior to the hearing for Justin Johnson, Cornelius Smith, and Hernandez Govan, the latter was suspected to be organizer of the hit. However, Shelby County Assistant District Attorney Paul Hagerman is claiming that Big Jook, the late brother of Yo Gotti, is the actual Govan. “Big Jook, the person I told you about before, the number two guy at CMG, he’s put out a hit… $100,000 to whoever kills Dolph. He has met with Justin. He has met with Cornelius and they think they’re ready to do it”.

Following that, attorneys would go on to present video surveillance footage of the day Dolph was ambushed. Even though it doesn’t show the entire shooting, it still reveals all people need to know. In the first update, it’s been said that Johnson was the lead gunman. His motivation for killing Dolph was that he was apparently looking to ink a deal with Yo Gotti’s CMG label. Given the two label heads past, this does sort of connect the dots. The other incentive was a reported $100,000 prize for carrying it out.

However, we are now coming to learn that Cornelius Smith, the other alleged shooter, was gyped out of a lot of money for his work. According to an update from DJ Akademiks, Smith told the judge that he was promised $40,000. Instead, he received just a measly $800 of that. There will assuredly be more to come, so stick around for any further updates.

What are your thoughts on Young Dolph’s alleged shooter receiving such a small amount of money for the hit despite the promise of $40,000? Are you buying this, why or why not?

Donald Trump Shooter Spotted Crawling On Roof Before Firing At The Former President

by

More disturbing footage and accounts continue to emerge from the assassination attempt against Donald Trump at his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday (July 13). A new clip going viral online shows how the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, crawled onto the roof of a building just outside of the rally’s perimeter, with attendees seemingly attempting to notify law enforcement of their suspicions. It’s a very harrowing and dark moment to witness, so viewer discretion is advised for the clip below. This adds onto the rampant search for more information on this attack, which left a rally-goer dead and two more injured.

As for Crooks, Trump’s attempted assassin was shot and killed within a minute of him firing his AR-15 from about 130 yards away. In addition, once information emerged about his identity and background, more folks and media publications came forward with details. One recent alleged report from The New York Post claims that Crooks’ high school rifle team rejected him, due partially to his poor accuracy. However, other supposed testimonies painted him as a bullied outcast who had odd interactions with his fellow schoolmates, coaches, and teachers.

Trump’s Shooter Crawls Onto Roof Before Attack

In addition to all this, Trump’s shooting caused a lot of debate when it comes to his presidential bid against incumbent Joe Biden, and around folks who vehemently oppose the former and convicted president politically. For example, DJ Akademiks recently blasted Amanda Seales for suggesting that Trump’s team staged all this. “Some of y’all are so into whatever political view y’all have, y’all dismiss reality,” he remarked. “B***h, wake up. There’s a f***ing whole investigation by the FBI outside in Butler. Drive over there and go see if they’re investigating staged s**t.”

Elsewhere in the hip-hop world, a lot of rappers clowned the former president for this or made light of the situation despite their sympathy. On the other hand, many of Trump’s MC supporters stood up to defend him amid others wanting to take this chance to criticize him. One of these defenders is Kodak Black, who recently clapped back at Plies’ takedown of No. 45. We’ll see how this debacle continues to spiral…

Donald Trump Shooter Reportedly Rejected From High School Rifle Team Due To Poor Aim

by

The assassination attempt on Donald Trump this past weekend is still sending shockwaves through the United States’ consciousness, and has many reflecting on what else was on this path. Moreover, The New York Post recently and reportedly spoke to Frederick Mach, the leader of Trump’s shooter’s high school rifle team. 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot dead within a minute of him firing at the former and convicted president, was allegedly rejected from his school’s rifle team partly because of his supposedly poor aim. In addition, a member of the team during the time that Crooks tried out, Jonathan Myers, told the publication that the shooter had bizarre interactions with fellow students and with coaches, indicating that something was off.

Furthermore, another former high school student and colleague of Thomas Matthew Crooks called him an “outcast” and said that other students bullied him. Crooks wounded Donald Trump, killed someone in the crowd, and injured two others during his AR-15-fronted attack, which he carried out from atop a building right outside of the perimeter of the Pennsylvania rally (130 yards away from Trump). Apparently, he was a registered Republican. While much of the information around Crooks is not 100% confirmed, the picture becomes clearer with each reported discovery.

As such, take all of this with a grain of salt, especially as the world is having wild reactions to the Trump assassination attempt. Over in the hip-hop realm, Kodak Black recently blasted Plies for “slandering” the former president after this shooting. “We ain’t going for no Trump slander,” he expressed. “Trump ain’t done nothing to you. You feel me? You rich. We rich.”

Meanwhile, other rappers are taking advantage of this moment for some crossover appeal, and to capitalize on the hot new pop culture talking point. For example, 50 Cent recently replaced his face on the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ cover with Trump’s during a performance of “Many Men,” which details the attempt on Fif’s life. It even drew the G-Unit mogul to become a trending topic and meme on social media once more, joining a whole host of other jokes and reactions. Hopefully these all separate the light nature of the Internet with the dark nature of this attack, and don’t confuse them for one another.

Sources said that the son and father duo were already in the Roscoe’s parking lot when PNB Rock arrived.

Police said that his girlfriend shared a photo of their meal with the geolocation 20 minutes before he was shot. Fans suspected she was at fault for his death. The flurry of commentary that followed prompted varying opinions on the safety of rappers in the Instagram era.

Police explained the son ran into the establishment where he robbed PNB Rock of his jewelry before fatally shooting the rapper. From there, he fled the scene, hopping into the vehicle with his father, and burning the car.

Family and friends of the late rapper gathered on September 21st in Philadelphia for a traditional Muslim burial service.
