Young Dolph's song lyrics predicted his tragic death
Social media is rife with theories about how Dolph predicted his own death over the years. Certain fans note how his music had a foreboding fear of him being killed one day. The rapper openly discussed not growing up in the best of places and being a target of violence since his early days. A report mentions that the rapper in his single '100 Shots' that released in 2017 rapped about having a sweet tooth as well as his enemies missing a "whole hundred shots".
"A hundred shots. Me and my [N-word] pull up in a hundred drops (skrrt). My role model used to get a hundred blocks (hey) Street [N-word] in a tuxedo, we the mob (yeah)" rapped Dolph. At the end of the verse, he rapped, "Yeah it's Dolph. How the f*ck you miss a whole hundred shots?" Dolph died while out to buy cookies at Makeda's Cookies and the owner Maurice Hill said someone drove up, shot him at around 1 pm, and left. Three law enforcement officers have confirmed his death but certain fan theories say it could be him faking his death to come back as a new rapper, to highlight 'Paper Route iLLUMINATI' his new album. These theories could also stem from the fact that a few weeks ago Dolph posted photos of his new merch that has the text 'RIP me open' emblazoned on it.
Dolph's family
Dolph shared two kids - Tre and Ari - with partner Mia Jaye. His most recent project was 'Paper Route Illuminati'. Announcing the same, he had written, "You can’t provide for your FAMILY without MONEY, and you can’t make MONEY without making SACRIFICES…"
