Yo Gotti Is Worth $100 Million According To Forbes

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yo Gotti was Forbes‘ latest cover issue subject on Friday (February 23), and the outlet revealed that he is reportedly worth a staggering $100 million. Moreover, this is due to his highly successful record label, CMG, a minority stake in the D.C. United team in the MLS, and his Memphis restaurant Prive. “If I never wrote another rap again, I’m financially straight,” the Tennessee rapper and business mogul shared. “My whole career, I was setting up for that.” Elsewhere during the interview, he also indicated that he has no plans of slowing down or pumping the brakes on any of his lucrative endeavors.

“It’s in the process,” Yo Gotti remarked about his massive success. “I’m planting the seeds. A lot of people don’t have patience. They want it all tomorrow. So they can’t execute a real plan… What I do know, we’re coming out on top.” “I may want to buy a company or acquire another company,” he said of his decision to study business at UCLA. “So I’m making sure I’m super tight and understand the language and the verbiage myself.”

Sadly for the Memphis MC, it must have been very hard to focus on his career, success, and blessings in the recent past. His brother Big Jook tragically lost his life in their home city, which shook the community to its core and from which his loved ones and close associates are still recovering from. While Yo Gotti already made some public appearances since this incident, he’s yet to fully unpack this with all the sets of eyes and ears on him and his career. That is something that should come at his own pace, and not feel rushed or pressured to get back in front of microphones.

Meanwhile, over this past holiday season, the 42-year-old was able to share his wealth and lavish lifestyle with his family and friends. Hopefully these loved ones continued to be with each other and celebrate life, especially to honor the legacy and memory of Big Jook. But one thing is clear from this Forbes interview: there’s still a long way to go and a lot more goals to achieve. For more news and the latest updates on Yo Gotti, keep checking in with HNHH.

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.

Big Jook’s Brother, Yo Gotti

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.
Rest In Peace Big Jook.

In other news, Yo Gotti is also making moves in other areas, even if they are simply expanding on his already established success. For example, TMZ recently reported that he enrolled in a business course at UCLA, which is a weekly in-person offering titled “Corporate Valuation.” Of course, the CMG boss is already an established and acclaimed label CEO, but it seems like he wants to take these skills and accomplishments to the next level. If that will translate into CMG’s output and growth as a business and collective, then that only means good things moving forward.

Rap lyrics used to idolize couples like Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, but now that we know the truth about their bumpy marriage, pop culture fanatics have been in search of new #CoupleGoals to inspire their cuffing season mood boards. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are great examples of two celebrities who make great co-parents and romantic partners, and Jay-Z was a solid support system for Beyonce on the RENAISSANCE World Tour earlier this year. Elsewhere, Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons have kept our attention with their love, which regularly finds the CMG boss letting the world know just how much he adores his shorty.

Before getting into the full swing of the holiday season, Gotti and his girl took another baecation to the tropics together. Simmons looks more confident in her curves than ever before with the Southern artist by her side, and she was nothing short of tickled pink to see her bikini-clad body printed on his custom t-shirt. In the video below, she happily cuddles up to Gotti on their trip, flexing his outfit to all of her Instagram followers.
