The courtroom drama in Young Dolph’s murder trial just took a wild turn.
- Cornelius Smith, one of Young Dolph’s alleged killers, revealed Yo Gotti’s label may have paid for his legal fees.
- Smith expressed remorse but still accepted the money post-shooting.
- Justin Johnson, another accused, allegedly aimed to join CMG and earn big.
- Big Jook, Yo Gotti’s late brother, allegedly put a $100K hit on Young Dolph.
Young Dolph’s murder trial is heating up with surprising revelations. One of the accused, Cornelius Smith, dropped a bombshell, alleging that someone from Yo Gotti’s label, CMG, paid his hefty $50K attorney fees. He couldn’t confirm the exact amount or who specifically paid it, saying, “I don’t know exactly who. I didn’t get it in my hand.”
Smith’s statements add to the mounting drama surrounding the trial. Shelby County Assistant District Attorney Paul Hagerman previously claimed that Yo Gotti’s late brother, Big Jook, had put out a $100K hit on Young Dolph. Hagerman further accused Justin Johnson, another alleged killer, of pulling the trigger on the Memphis rapper.
According to Hagerman, Johnson was desperate to sign with CMG and earn some quick cash, pushing him further into this deadly plot. The prosecutor stated, “Big Jook, the person I told you about before, the number two guy at CMG, he’s put out a hit, a hit, $100,000 to whoever kills Dolph. He has met with Justin (Johnson). He has met with Cornelius (Smith) and they think they’re ready to do it.”
Adding to the turmoil, Smith admitted that his conscience was heavy after the shooting. However, he still accepted the money. Smith explained, “I already did it, I might as well.” Yet, he also confessed that instead of the promised $40,000 for the hit, he only received a mere $800.
This trial continues to unveil shocking details and twist the narrative around Young Dolph’s tragic death. From financial disputes to alleged contracts on lives, every new testimony paints a clearer picture of the events leading to the rapper’s murder.
The ongoing trial is nothing short of a suspense thriller, keeping everyone on edge with each revelation.
