Young Dolph has been having a good week, for all intents and purposes. If you hadn't seen, Lebron James was recently blasting Dolph's music while cruising around for his Snapchat, giving the street rapper a heavy co-sign, and undoubtedly Dolph had caught wind of this. Unfortunately, it looks like things have gone south today, although details on the situation are currently scarce.
A report has surfaced that Young Dolph has been shot multiple times while in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The Memphis-based rapper was outside of the Shoe Palace, which is located at a well-known Hollywood and Highland intersection, when he was shot multiple times. Law enforcement sources say the rapper is being rushed to a local hospital. Apparently officers were nearby and responded immediately.
As for information on the shooter and/or shooters -- there is none at the moment, it's also unclear if more than one person opened fire on Dolph. Although he's reportedly suffered multiple gunshot wounds, the injuries are non-life-threatening. Still, get your prayers up and well wishes out for Dolph.
We'll be updating this story as more details arrive.
We've reached out to his team for updates on his condition as well. We're wishing him a speedy recovery.
Dolph has been busy as of late as well, not just with getting co-signs from high-profile basketball players, but with well-placed features-- he linked with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie for "D.A.R.E.", he appeared on a big Rick Ross remix for "She On My Dick" (alongside up and comer Bruno Mali and Meek Mill), and he released a song off an upcoming, unexpected joint album (titled Tracking Numbers) with Berner, "Knuckles" featuring Gucci Mane, this was all within the month of August. As momentum continues to his build around him, he's bubbling over into the mainstream, but evidently, the street life doesn't want to leave him behind. In July, we also reported on how one of his concerts ended in gunfire.
