American rapper Jadakiss has given his take on the death of fellow rapper Young Dolph.
American Rapper Jadakiss Gives His Take On Young Dolph’s Drive-By Shooting-‘It Has To Come To A Cease’
Young, for his part, became a victim of a drive-by shooting when he was shot dead at 36-years-old in Memphis. The incident had occurred outside a bakery that the rapper had frequently attended.
In response, the authorities reportedly believe that Young could have been a victim of gang violence. And given that Young was already a star, his death has left a bitter taste in the mouth, especially since his death was preventable.
During an interview with TMZ, Jadakiss spoke on how the incident was hard to take. He said: “[It’s very sad]. [It’s] something that we have to put an end to.
“Everybody uses their platform for a lot of other things, but we have to stop killing us, and we have to stop it immediately. It has to be effective as of now—immediately.”
The primary reason why it was so hard for Jadakiss to speak on the matter was that he had actually done a song with Young prior to his death. In 2015, the duo released a single entitled ‘Addicted.’
Therefore, Jadakiss understood first-hand exactly how talented Young was as an artist. And given that he is no longer here, Jadakiss wants to ensure that he can still be remembered in the most positive way possible.
He added: “[We] lose so many young talented brothers and sisters in this hip-hop culture. It has to come to a cease sometime or another.
“We gotta keep his legacy going. Hopefully, we do the best we can for his children, his mother, and his loved ones. Just keep them in our prayers.”
The community in response has already come out and offered to help. A GoFundMe campaign has been made in order to help the bakery.
This was a shop close to Young, given that he had bought produce from there. In addition, he had attempted to help the business generate more income by encouraging people to go there.
The only thing that the community can do is come together to prevent something like this from ever happening again. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
