Yo Gotti Speaks On Brother, Big Jook’s Passing

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the hip-hop community in Memphis is reeling from the loss of Anthony “Big Jook” Mims, brother to renowned artist Yo Gotti. The fatal incident unfolded just hours after Jook attended a funeral service for his late uncle, known as “Las Vegas” Eric, at Perignons Restaurant and Event Center on Winchester Road.

Jook, a key figure in the Collective Music Group, was captured in Instagram Story posts, paying tribute to his uncle and embracing loved ones during the service. Memphis Deputy Police Chief Paul Wright expressed the belief that Jook may have been a targeted victim, leading to the tragic events outside the venue. He was swiftly transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The hip-hop community has been quick to respond to this devastating loss. Fellow Memphis rapper Finesse2tymes shared a poignant Instagram Story, expressing disbelief and pleading for confirmation that Jook’s passing was a cruel rumor. The absence of a public statement from Yo Gotti has left fans anxiously awaiting any word from the grieving artist.

As the investigation unfolds, the Memphis music scene is once again confronted with the specter of violence, with Jook’s death reigniting interest in the tragic passing of Young Dolph just a few months prior. The city remains on edge as legal proceedings for individuals connected to Dolph’s death are set to commence in March.
