Young Dolph was known for his generosity.
As Memphis and Hip Hop mourn the shocking death of the Paper Route Empire founder, newly uncovered footage of Dolph’s last days began to circulate online, including his final known interview.
According to WREG 3 Memphis, the rapper was back in his hometown on Monday (November 15), taking part in a Thanksgiving giveaway at a Memphis mall and speaking with cancer patients at the West Cancer Center & Research Institute in Germantown, a suburb 30 minutes outside of Memphis.
He met with staff members and informed them of his history with the clinic. Presently, one of Dolph’s aunts undergoes treatment and previously had an uncle and his grandmother visit the facility.
“Over the years, I had several family members to come through here and been patients of this clinic, so I just really wanted to show up and show them my support, and show them how thankful I am, just for them being there,” he said.
In 2020, the late Memphis rapper famously gave away a Lamborghini Aventador to promote his Rich Slave album. After personally driving to Dallas, Texas, to deliver the vehicle to a superfan, he vouched for her to sell the car.
“GET PAID,” he commented on the news, with a money bag to match.
3 Suspects Arrested After Man Shot Near Young Dolph's Memphis Memorial
Sadly, violence erupted in Memphis shortly after Dolph’s passing. One man was shot near Dolph’s memorial, erected outside of the bakery where he was shot and killed. Despite rumors of Yo Gotti’s restaurant and Blac Youngsta’s grandmother’s house being sprayed with bullets, neither establishment was caught up in gunfire.
We shooting and killing our leaders scratching our head like where is the leadership?… If you don’t see it, you just don’t see it. Dont take away the people that’s giving back, take away the garbage.
this guy’s not a leader he’s a gangsta. he’s shot and killed people and ordered the deaths of others. most likely under the protection of some part of the Memphis PD. Acting like some AL Capone dude kissing babies and appearing at turkey drives is part of the Jimmy Cagney look at me ma Ima gangsta-ass-gangsta playbook. Frank White from King of NY never saw a hospitial he couldn’t throw 500k at watch the movie
You buggin… So Denzel Washington a gangsta because he play one on screen? Seperate the art from the person. We all people, family, pay our bills… He shot and killed other people and ordered the deaths of others??? Go to bed little boy…
And saying a rapper is our leader is a problem lmao especially a street rapper
God can use anyone to get a message cross evidently aint read your torah or bible. Look at whose been used as our president n politicians lately heartless so called christians who spew hate and divisiveness hyprocrits. Then your other leaders is socialist believe giving everything away not working for shh lives in lalaland . your 3rd leaders especially blk ones cough cough al sharpton they never to be seen unless a camera around .
I wish more stories like this came out about rappers when they’re alive instead of who they’re beefing with or whatever other negative press the media pushes out.
True shh though when you give you dont do it for a clout or a tax write off like alot of people, you do it from the heart.
unlike rap “thugs” in the 90s who were all under the age of 25 and may have been prone to tall tales and mostly did not get into hood specifics in rhymes – the new era gangsta are 40 year old dudes who kill people for real. You don’t go around saying you’re an armed gangster with bad intentions for the whole world to hear unless you back it up in whatever way you do. Dolph had a block he was from and it’s no way he could be faking jacks talking like that and still roll in that area. So it sucks he’s dead I guess but so what he was living to die.
