The music world is mourning the loss of rapper Yo Gotti's brother, who was tragically killed in a shooting in Memphis. Anthony, also known as "Big Jook," was fatally shot after attending a funeral in Tennessee. He is the younger brother of the well-known musician Yo Gotti, whose real name is Mario Mims. Many will recognize Yo Gotti for his popular track "Rake It Up" featuring Nicki Minaj.
The incident occurred on a Saturday afternoon, outside of a restaurant where Mims and another man were shot. Tragically, Mims was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other man was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. It is believed that Mims had attended a funeral earlier in the day before the shooting took place around 4:15pm.
As of now, Yo Gotti has yet to publicly address the shooting, and it is unclear if he was with his brother at the time of the incident. Mims, who was affectionately known as "Big Jook," was a beloved member of the community and his death has left many in shock. He had a close relationship with his brother Yo Gotti and worked alongside him at his record label, Collective Music Group, helping with the promotion and business side of things.
The Memphis Police Department is urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward and assist with the investigation. In a statement released on X, they pleaded, "At 4:15 pm, officers were flagged down on a shooting at 6385 Winchester. A male was located on the scene and transported to St. Francis where he was pronounced deceased. A second male arrived at St. Francis by private vehicle. He is listed as critical. Call 901-528-CASH with tips."
Founded in 2012, Collective Music Group is home to many talented artists, including Moneybagg, Blac Youngsta, and GloRilla. Mims was an integral part of the company and worked closely with his brother to support and promote these artists.
