The video features the “Pillz” hitmaker rapping lyrics dedicated to Dolph inside of a church. Footage of the Memphis native is also included along with scenes from a memorial service held in honor of the rapper.
Young Dolph’s long-time partner Mia Jaye delivered a moving speech at his memorial at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee last Thursday (Dec. 16).
“I had the most pleasurable time of my life with Adolph Robert Thornton Jr,. He was the most brilliant man, intelligent man, unique man, charming man; he was just everything,” Mia Jane told attendees. “And I’m so, so blessed that I was able to experience him for nearly a decade.”
“R. I.P. to my friend Dolph this broke my heart,” wrote Gucci Mane when the news of Dolph’s death broke.
