The artist was shot and murdered at 1 p.m. local time on Wednesday, according to Fox 13 Memphis.
Police officers arrived on the scene immediately after the incident and began an investigation. Dolph’s body was discovered inside the bakery, while his camo Lamborghini was parked in front of the establishment, according to police. (pulpjuiceandsmoothie.com)
According to The Shade Room, he went to the same cookie store a week prior, and during that visit, he promoted the place and boasted about his fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies.
Young Dolph and Soulja Boy had a dispute
Dolph and fellow rapper Boy had a nasty online debate about money accusations a week before his murder.
According to Complex, Dolph promised that each live performance would earn him $100,000, but the ‘Pretty Boy Swag’ singer wasn’t ready to believe him.
“How da [crap] do I get 100rax + for a show as an independent artist?” Dolph penned the piece. “How come @keyglock has more cars and ice than you and your CEO?”

Netizens slammed Boy after he released his ‘Stretch Some’ single, which many assumed was a Dolph diss track, because to their past. Trouble, an Atlanta rapper, attacked Soulja for the release, saying that it was a disrespectful gesture.
The boy even made a rude comment on The Shade Room’s Instagram post about Dolph’s death and G-Squared Events’ decision. He wrote that he didn’t mind because he was paid by the organizer
