What Happened At Lil Baby’s Concert?
The Memphis Police Department informed the media that the incident took place at the FedEx Forum in the city at approximately 10:30 p.m. The singer had only been performing for maybe 30 minutes at that point. In an Instagram video, CEO Jizzle—real name Jaylen Johnson—confirmed that he was the victim of a shooting. Young Dolph, whose birth name was Adolph Thornton, is a famous rapper and Johnson’s cousin. In November 2021, at the age of 36, he was fatally shot in a Memphis bakery, in broad daylight. In 2024, four men are scheduled to go on trial for the murder. The murder’s motivation remains unknown.
In a critical condition, he was sent to a nearby hospital. Even though everyone is being screened with metal detectors at the door, investigators are still trying to find the shooter and figure out how the gun got inside. After being shot multiple times, the rapper posted a video to social media in which he ridiculed his assailants and boasted that he was fine. On the night of the shooting, Memphis rapper GloRilla was slated to perform alongside Lil Baby.
