Yo Gotti‘s brother, Anthony ‘Big Jook’ Mims, has been killed in a shooting in Memphis, in what authorities believe to be a targeted attack.
The incident occurred outside of Perignons Restaurant & Event Center on Saturday (January 13), Fox 13 reports.
Memphis police responded to reports of gunfire outside the restaurant near Winchester Road around 4:15 p.m., where two men had been shot. Big Jook, one of the victims, was swiftly transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
A second unidentified individual, transported to the hospital in a private vehicle, was later airlifted to Regional One Health in Memphis, where they remain in critical condition.
According to TMZ, the tragic shooting occurred shortly after the rapper’s older sibling attended a funeral for a friend who he had mourned publicly on social media.
No word as to whether Gotti, real name Mario Mims, was present with his brother at the time. As of now, the “Doin 2 Much” rapper has not yet publicly addressed the passing of his brother.
On Saturday night, Academy Award-winner DJ Paul took to his Instagram Stories, where he seemingly appeared to confirm the reports by resharing a news story about the shooting.
Big Jook was said to have a close relationship with his famous brother and was actively involved with Gotti’s record label, Collective Music Group (CMG). Primarily contributing on the business front, he played a significant role in promoting artists.
Established in 2012, Collective Music Group has achieved notable success, signing artists such as Moneybagg Yo, GloRilla, 42 Dugg, Blac Youngsta, EST Gee, and Mozzy.
Despite no arrests being made, social media is rife with speculation that the recent shooting may be connected to the murder of Young Dolph.
In 2021, a police presence was swiftly established at Gotti’s Memphis restaurant after the young rapper was fatally shot outside a cookie store, citing concerns about potential retaliation.
HipHopDX extends its condolences to Yo Gotti, the Mims family and the entire CMG camp.
I think you have to be real silly to want to get involved in rap music at this point. it’s impossible to avoid criminals and gangsters. maybe because that’s half the music business too.
That’s how it all started and that’s how it will continue. It’s the only legitimate business that requires no actual certification or degrees. A straight hustle used to clean dirty money since the beginning.
I guess you’re a fucking idiot then. I know myself I won’t waste anytime making or listening to rap music in the future. no more kids dead on my watch,
We got to come together for real because nothing wrong with rap but folks beefing about everything but money. It’s always been like that and it’s sad because we all should be getting money together in da Mtown and worldwide instead of killing each other dreams.
More barrel crab BS. Another Black person dead. Not because of white people or anybody else. But because we still act like newly freed slaves…in 2024.
This is not crabs in a barrel. That implies someone wanting to pull somebody back down to their level. This is ongoing war between people who signed up for it and know exactly what they signed up for. Condolences to his family, and I hate that it’s that way, but it is. We need to learn to differentiate between these murders. We wouldn’t call someone dying overseas fighting in a war crabs in a barrel, because they signed up for it, just like these men have. R.I.P.
To me, a black person bringing another black person down, for any reason, especially over neighborhoods, or any other pettiness, is absolutely crabs in a barrel. What we’re doing to each other isn’t a war. It’s self hate. It’s dysfunction. War isn’t much better, to be sure. But the world is against us. And all we’ve done is internalize that and are against ourselves too. It’s keeping us down…like crabs in a barrel. RIP
Say that sht bro.
The OG’s got to intervene and hold a Peace Conference in Memphis whatever the hell going on over there. This the second time somebody done gone out in a flurry of hollow tips from both crews. Reality is, it’s dead heat. Nobody wins.
Blacks killing blacks. Where is the black lives matters ?
Blacks destroying another black no to grow
Black hate blacks and for a fact black lives don’t matter
I’m black but I prefer to be with Africans that came over to the USA or the white people than being with my Americans black brothers
You sound dumb asf. You have a white man’s mentality. Choosing not be be around your American Black brothers just cause of the actions of a small minority is completely ignorant. You are whitewashed and pathetic. White people kill Black people too, but you don’t write them off hmmmm I wonder why BOOTLICKING kewn!…and you talked all that mess about Black lives not mattering to Black people, but turn around and told a Black man in the comments section that you hope somebody kills him 🤔 HYPOCRISY at it’s finest lol you are a joke

@Bossk I identify with Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man in that I don’t really prefer any group to the other. My Black American community is often tripping, Africa is just as messed up on a contintental scale. and white folks as a group are destroying the planet. So the race isn’t important. There are awesome people of every race, and every race has problems. It’s all about finding one’s tribe no matter what they look like, and avoiding negativity at all costs. Just wish my people, and humanity would do better.
These brothers were cops? If not, then your post is irrelevant smh.
You just a fool. I pray you get killed in the streets so your family can miss you for just a day.
Yall are missing it and that’s intentional. This was a satanic sacrifice by Gotti to advance in free masonry. They hide these sacrifices in the black community by making it appear we just killing each other. Gillie the kid did it too by sacrificing his son for his huge deal. The way they sacrifice is murdering a family member or close friend, or their children are made to be gay or trans.
