Young Dolph Murder: Shooter's Testimony Reveals Truth
About this episode
Cornelius Smiths plea hearing in the Young Dolph murder case, initially set for April, has been postponed until May. Smith, the shooter who admitted to firing into Makedas Cookies in November 2021, killing the Memphis rapper, has testified under oath, implicating everyone involved in the plot. The plot was allegedly masterminded by Big Jook, Yo Gottis brother, who allegedly put out a $100,000 hit for a label deal. Smith and his co-shooter, Justin Johnson, were promised $40,000 each, but Smith only received $800 before his arrest. Johnson was convicted last September and sentenced to life plus fifty years. The case is tied to a decade-long feud between Young Dolphs Paper Route Empire and Yo Gottis CMG, with past shootings including over 100 rounds into Dolphs Corvette in 2017. Jermarcus Johnson, Justins half-brother, copped a plea for accessory and received probation. Despite the slow grind of the legal system, Smiths testimony has already revealed the truth of the case to those listening.

On March 30, Cornelia Smith's plea hearing in the young Dolph murder case got pushed back again, now set for May. This guy is the shooter who admitted firing into Maketa's cookies on November 17, 2021, killing the Memphis rapper. The case has dragged near the five years already. Smith testified under oath, spilling details on the hit, and identifying everyone involved. His co-shooter Justin Johnson got convicted last September and hit with life plus 50 years. Smith cooperated fully, even pointing fingers at others. The plot came from Big Juke, Yo Gotti's brother, who allegedly put out a $100,000 hit for a label deal. Smith and Johnson were promised $40,000 each, but he only saw $800 before arrest. Mastermind Hernandez-Govon walked free after acquittal last August. This ties into a decade-long feud between young Dolph's paper route Empire and Yo Gotti's TMG, with past shootings like over 100 rounds into.
Dolph's Corvette in 2017, Jermarca's Johnson, Justin's half-brother, copped a plea for accessory and got probation. The system's slow-grine leaves the spinal chapter hanging, but Smith's testimony already locked in the truth for everyone listening. From the world of music, powered by AI, this is Music News Today.
