Tragic Loss: Memphis Shooting Claims the Life of Yo Gotti’s Brother, Big Jook

Tragedy struck Memphis on Saturday afternoon as Anthony “Big Jook” Mims, the elder brother of renowned rapper Yo Gotti, was fatally shot outside Perignons Restaurant and Event Center on Winchester Road. Memphis Police reported one casualty and another individual injured, suggesting a targeted attack during a repass service at the restaurant.

Despite surveillance footage available to authorities, the suspect remains unidentified, adding a layer of mystery to the incident. Big Jook’s Instagram post, eerily captioned, “They don’t want to face you. They wanna snake you… Stay alert to stay alive, watch your back at all times… Put snakes on the plate and eat great,” took on a haunting significance after the tragic event.

Heart-wrenching videos circulated online, capturing moments of Yo Gotti and Big Jook consoling each other at a funeral earlier in the day. The emotional weight of the situation became apparent as fellow emcee Finesse2tymes shared his condolences on Instagram, expressing disbelief at the untimely loss.

While police officials have refrained from confirming any connection to the 2021 murder of Young Dolph, speculations among fans have arisen. Questions linger about Yo Gotti’s proximity to his older brother during the shooting, and as of now, the rapper has not issued any statement regarding Big Jook’s tragic demise. The Memphis community mourns the loss of yet another life, leaving behind unanswered questions and a somber atmosphere.

We offer our deepest condolences to Yo Gotti and his family.
