The shocking death of rapper Young Dolph on November 17, 2021, has sparked a lot of speculation and rumors about who was behind the fatal shooting. One of the names that has been circulating online is Anthony Mims, also known as Big Jook, who is the older brother of Yo Gotti, a rival of Young Dolph. But is there any truth to the claims that Big Jook was involved in the murder plot? Here is what we know so far.
The Alleged Mastermind
According to Fox 13 Memphis, a man named Hernandez Govan was charged on three counts by a grand jury on November 10 and was indicted, according to Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy. Govan is accused of first-degree murder, first-degree murder conspiracy, and first-degree murder attempt.
Govan is believed to be the mastermind behind the shooting of Young Dolph, who was killed outside a cookie shop in Memphis. Govan allegedly hired two gunmen, Justin Johnson and Shundale Barnett, to carry out the hit. Johnson and Barnett were arrested in Indiana and Mississippi, respectively, and are facing similar charges as Govan.
The Photo That Raised Eyebrows
The connection between Govan and Big Jook was made by some internet sleuths who found an old photo of them standing side by side. The date of the photo is unknown, but Big Jook is seen wearing a pendant of Collective Music Group (CMG), the label founded by Yo Gotti. The photo was shared by several hip-hop media outlets and YouTube channels, sparking speculation that Big Jook was somehow linked to the murder case.
The Denial And The Beef
However, Big Jook has denied any involvement in the killing of Young Dolph. He took to Instagram to clear his name and said that he was not arrested or questioned by the police. He also said that he had nothing to do with Govan and that the photo was taken years ago at a club. He claimed that he did not even know Govan’s name and that he was just posing with a fan.
Big Jook also addressed the long-standing beef between Yo Gotti and Young Dolph, which dates back to 2014. The two rappers had a falling out over a potential deal that never materialized. They exchanged several diss tracks and social media jabs over the years, and their feud escalated to violence on several occasions. In 2017, Young Dolph was shot twice in Los Angeles and survived. A member of Yo Gotti’s entourage was initially arrested but later released. Another shooting occurred in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Young Dolph’s SUV was sprayed with 100 bullets. Blac Youngsta, a CMG artist, was charged but later acquitted. However, another CMG associate, Howard Wright, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Big Jook said that he had no personal issues with Young Dolph and that he respected him as an artist. He also said that he was focused on the success of CMG and its roster, which includes artists like Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, and EST Gee. He said that he was not interested in any drama or negativity and that he wished peace for Young Dolph’s family and fans.
The Conclusion
As of now, there is no concrete evidence that Big Jook had any role in the murder of Young Dolph. The photo of him and Govan is not enough to prove any conspiracy or connection. The police have not named him as a suspect or a person of interest. The rumors and allegations are based on speculation and assumptions, which are not reliable sources of information. Therefore, it is premature and unfair to accuse Big Jook of being involved in the crime. Until more facts are revealed, it is best to refrain from spreading false or misleading information.
