Yo Gotti, who owns the restaurant, was not in Memphis at the time of the shooting. TMZ noted that the restaurant was temporarily closed in 2021 after the death of rival Memphis rapper Young Dolph over concerns that someone assuming Gotti’s involvement in Dolph’s death might retaliate. Fortunately, nothing came of those concerns.
The assailants fled the scene of the shooting and are still at large. Police have not shared any theories about the cause of the shooting.
Last year, a Yo Gotti show was targeted for a mass shooting, but police were alerted to the plan and took the suspect into custody for medical evaluation. Gotti thanked the Memphis Police Department for apprehending the would-be shooter on Twitter, writing, “I would also like to thank the Memphis Police Department for their swift and proactive action in ensuring that all attendees returned home safely.”
