The rap world is in shock after the news of Blac Youngsta’s brother’s murder in South Memphis on Friday, August 18, 2023. The motive behind the shooting is unknown, but some conspiracy theorists are pointing to the Blac Youngsta music video for “I’m Assuming”, which he released after Young Dolph’s death, as a possible trigger.
According to reports, Blac Youngsta’s brother was shot and killed in broad daylight near a BP gas station on Parkway and Lauderdale. The Memphis Police Department was informed of gunfire around 9 a.m., but by the time they arrived at the scene, the victim was dead. The identity of the shooter and the victim were not immediately publicly released, but sources close to Blac Youngsta confirmed that it was his brother.
Blac Youngsta, whose real name is Samuel Benson, is a 33-year-old rapper from Memphis, known for his mixtapes and singles such as “I’m Assuming”. He was involved in a long-standing feud with fellow Memphis rapper Young Dolph, who was shot and killed in November 2022.
Why Conspiracy Theorists Think the Blac Youngsta Video Disrespecting Young Dolph’s Grave is Connected to His Brother’s Murder
In December 2021, Blac Youngsta released a music video for his song “I’m Assuming”, which he recorded at Calvary Cemetery. In the video, he is seen dancing and rapping on top of a grave, while holding a shovel like he was about to dig it up. While Young Dolph’s grave was not in the video, many people assumed that the grave he disrespected in the video was meant to represent Young Dolph’s grave.
Some people on social media also believed that the blunt he’s smoking in the video is meant to be him smoking on a Young Dolph pack. Those were just some of the assumptions people made based on their own personal interpretation of what they watched.
Some conspiracy theorists think that the murder of Blac Youngsta’s brother was a retaliation shooting related to that video. They theorize that Young Dolph’s fans or associates were behind the attack, and that it was a way of avenging his death. However, there is no evidence to support this theory, and the investigation is still ongoing. Take a look at the controversial video that was released only a few weeks after Dolph’s death.
Blac Youngsta previously lost another brother, Heavy Camp TD, who was shot and killed in Miami in 2019. He also survived a shooting himself in 2015, when he was hit by three bullets.
Blac Youngsta’s brother’s tragic death has sparked an outpouring of condolences and tributes from fans and fellow artists on social media. Many have expressed their sadness and anger over the senseless violence that plagues the rap industry.
