According to reports, the 36-year old "Major" rapper --- real name Adolph Robert Thornton, Jr --- was shot at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in South Memphis on Wednesday afternoon.

Back in 2020, Dolph spoke about spending time with his wife and kids during the pandemic:
"This s— just make me realize how much good times I've been missing out on, just around the house. It ain't got nothing to do with money. Your money don't mean -----. It's all about your happiness. We playing. I'm in my daughter's room, I'm in her little castle thing she got. She crawl in, I'm crawling my big ass in that —er. I'm in their world right now. Everything they like to do, everything they play, I'm all in that world right now. I'm just a big-ass kid right now."
The rapper recently made headlines for his beef with Soulja Boy, who spoke about it in his recent, explosive interview on the Breakfast Club. Our thoughts and well wishes are with Dolph's family.
