In April, following the shooting, Dolph released his second LP, the fittingly titled "Bulletproof" which debuted at number 36 on the Billboard chart. Allegedly more than 100 rounds were fired into the car, which was bulletproof, and Dolph was unharmed, performing a concert that night.
25, while on tour in Charlotte, North Carolina a vehicle Dolph was riding in was shot at. Dolph then replied with a video for “Play Wit Yo’ Bitch” which featured a Gotti look-alike being mocked. Reid-run Epic records and Jay-Z’s entertainment management company Roc Nation.Įventually, after more Dolph entreaties, Gotti fired back in song with “Don’t Beef Wit Me” – while still refusing to acknowledge his rival by name. “I’m business partners with LA Reid N Jay Z” he wrote, noting CMG’s association with the L.A. Gotti took a high-handed approach to the track, logging on to Twitter and noting that he wouldn’t stoop to his provocations. The song “Play Wit Yo’ B***” suggested he’d been intimate with the mother of Gotti’s child. In February 2017, Dolph reignited the “feud” with a diss track that took dead aim on Gotti (derisively characterizing him as "Ho Gotti"). Though more likely it was Dolph’s attempt to generate his own publicity by going after the better known and more established artist.
Gotti mostly stayed on the sidelines and in September of that year, in a video, downplayed any animosity between himself and Dolph.Īt the start of 2017, it seemed possible that the whole affair might have been a winking feud manufactured by both men for publicity. Through 2016, the bickering was largely between Dolph and members of Gotti’s camp, namely CMG-signed artist Blac Youngsta, who threw a Dolph diss into one of his tracks and filmed a video of himself prowling Dolph’s South Memphis neighborhood heavily armed. The title alone was incendiary, seen as a direct challenge to Gotti’s claim on that position. He subsequently released his full-length debut “The King of Memphis”, which peaked at number 49 on the Billboard chart. The CMG rapper also addressed news about his grandmother’s house being shot at as retaliation for Dolph’s killing, writing that his grandma was in the hospital and “damn near her death bed” when the false reports surfaced.In the winter of 2016, Dolph again alluded to Gotti and his decision not to sign to his CMG label on Twitter. “I’m the type of nigga who ain’t neva sat back and looked for nobody to feel sorry fa me! I come from the heart of south Memphis where you get no sympathy, don’t even know what that is… With that being said I could give 2 fucks what the world think bout me,” he captioned a post.īlac Youngsta didn’t apologize for performing the diss song, but he said that his actions were “put under this magnifying glass” and that “every lil thing I do/say receives negativity it’s… put out that way or not” because he is famous. A few days prior, Blac Youngsta performed “Shake Sum,” his 2016 diss track aimed at Dolph, to a large crowd in a Texas nightclub.Īfter receiving heavy criticism about the video and song choice, the “Booty” emcee took to Instagram to address the backlash.

He can’t be dropped # CMG #Heav圜amp.” The Memphis rapper ended his series of tweets by telling people to keep his name out of all the rumors.Įarlier this week, reports surfaced that Blac Youngsta was cut from the label after he released the visuals to his track “I’m Assuming.” In the music video, he walked around a cemetery and showed a gravestone with the name Thornton, Dolph’s last name, on it. “I’m seeing too much rap on these blogs,” he wrote, followed by, “Fake News!!” He then tweeted, “Lil bro A BOSS. 28), the “Rake It Up” emcee took to Twitter to address the speculation.
