47-year-old Big Jook was born in 1976 to Geraldine Mims. He attended Trezevant High School. Big Jook was not just an artist but he was also known as the co-founder of CMG Group.
According to Memphis Deputy Police Chief Paul Wright, both Big Jook and another individual were shot at the restaurant. Big Jook was swiftly taken to St. Francis Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Another person was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after being airlifted to Regional One Health in Memphis.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting add a layer of complexity to the already tragic event. Reports suggest that both individuals were at the restaurant for a repast service after attending a relative’s funeral earlier that same day. The police believe that Big Jook may have been targeted by the suspect, although no suspects have been identified or arrested at this point.
What makes this incident even more heart-wrenching is the lack of clarity regarding whether Yo Gotti was with his brother during the shooting. As of now, Yo Gotti has not made any public comments on the tragedy, leaving fans and the public in suspense about his involvement and reaction to the loss of his older brother.
Big Jook, who actively promoted his brother’s record label, CMG the Label (Collective Media Group), on his Instagram, was known for his association with Yo Gotti’s music career.
Yo Gotti, born as Mario Sentell Giden Mims entered the rap scene as Lil Yo and released his debut album, ‘Youngsta’s On a Come Up,’ in 1996. Later adopting the stage name Yo Gotti, he went on to achieve considerable success in the hip-hop industry.
Yo Gotti’s contributions to the rap genre have not gone unnoticed, earning him multiple nominations at the BET Hip Hop Awards, including Album of the Year for ‘I Am’ in 2014. His collaborations with artists like Nicki Minaj, Lil Uzi Vert, and Kanye West have solidified his presence in the music industry.
The void left by Big Jook’s untimely demise extends beyond personal loss, impacting the broader hip-hop community that recognizes the significance of family bonds within the industry. As investigations continue, the public awaits further details on the incident and any potential statements from Yo Gotti, hoping for both clarity and justice in the wake of this tragic event.
While Big Jook’s net worth isn’t known, Yo Gotti is worth $16 million.
