Casino Jizzle was among the top prospects from Tennessee‘s Hip Hop scene, but he was tragically killed before his big break.
On Tuesday (July 4), the up-and-coming rapper (real name Robert Tunstall) was fatally shot in northeast Memphis, as confirmed by his manager (via WREG). He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His baby mother, Brianna Hollins, took to Facebook on Wednesday (July 5) to pay tribute to Jizzle, writing: I’m LOSTED WITHOUT U SWEAR TO GOD !! I know it was me OVER ANYBODY so ima let the internet troll cause yeen even Fw mfas who even posting ..
“I knew everythinggggggg & saw . MFA KNEW YOU LOVED NUNU TIL DEATH OVER WHOEVER !!!!!! I NEED YOU BAD !!!!! COME HOME.”
The 27-year-old artist was gearing up to the release of his new album, DUH, this coming Friday (July 7). He was unsigned at the time of his passing.
Memphis Police haven’t yet officially identified the perpetrator, but, according to local CBS affiliate WREG, they have issued a warrant for 27-year-old Michael Clayton, who is being charged with First Degree Murder.
In 2019, Casino Jizzle was involved in another shooting that left him critically injured. The incident took place outside a Chuck E. Cheese in Cordova, Tennessee.
The rising rapper and his music were just starting to gain traction. He has over 10 million streams on Apple Music, over 46 million views on YouTube and over 67,000 followers on Instagram.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to Casino Jizzle’s family and friends.

I saw “Losted” and couldn’t concentrate on anything else in the article. RIP to the young guy
Man that’s terrible grammar. Your man just died and you are addressing haters and trolls? Stay off the internet, boo.
What do you want her to do
She just need to stay prayed up,and don’t pay attention to what the internet says, BC somebodysomebodymay say something disrespected and crazy, while she should be getting love and support for her her family and children, but from reading her message she’s not strong enough right now to be going back and forth with some clown ass , so i think she should stay off the internet and my prayers goes out to her and the family and fan who supported this young man’s music.
Never heard of him if I’m honest. It’s just sad we still keep killing each other. It’s become a sport for some.
