A Memphis man with ties to a rival hip-hop artist has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in the shooting of rapper Young Dolph in the heart of Hollywood’s tourist district, police said. Young Dolph managed to stand up and run into Shoe Palace, near the famous TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Young Dolph, Mims and McClendon were all friendly at that time, but a recent dispute led to a rivalry between the two rappers, he said. In recent months, Mims tried to sign Young Dolph to a record deal, but Young Dolph refused and struck out on his own, Harris said. Young Dolph went on to reference the Charlotte incident in his most recent album, “Bulletproof.” Its lead track is titled “100 Shots.”“It takes more than 100 bullets to faze Young Dolph,” read an April press release promoting the album.
