Megan Thee Stallion, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross and more are remembering fellow rapper Young Dolph after he was killed in a shooting in his Memphis hometown Wednesday (Nov. 17).
FOX13 Memphis reported that the shooting took place outside Makeda’s Cookies, where police located Dolph and pronounced him dead on the scene. The King of Memphis rapper was 36.
Of the two Billboard Hot 100 entries to his name, Young Dolph (real name Adolph Robert Thornton Jr.) shared one with Gucci Mane (2017’s “Stunting Ain’t Nuthin,” featuring Slim Jxmmi and Dolph, No. 95); Gucci took to Twitter to mourn the loss of “my friend Dolph this broke my heart.”
Megan Thee Stallion, who was featured on his top 20 Rap Airplay hit “RNB” last year, shared his photo on Instagram, writing, “Everybody that know me knows I play this man music EVERY DAY ! He was so genuine so real so kind to me and tfarris always !!! Rest in Peace to a real legend.”
Dolph also frequently collaborated with Migos, and members Quavo and Offset sent their condolences on social media. “DAMN! This One Hurt,” Quavo wrote, “RIP DOLPH.” Offset echoed his sentiments, writing, “Damn R.I.P Dolph PRAYER FOR YA KIDS AND FAMILY SMH.”
