UPDATE (10:00 PM): It was reported earlier today that following the shooting, Young Dolph had sustained non-life-threatening injuries. However, KTLA5 has just learned that Dolph is now in critical condition following his surgery, according to LAPD Officer Meghan Aguilar

UPDATE (9:30 PM): According to TMZ, fellow Memphis rapper Yo Gotti has been named as a person of interest in the shooting that targeted Young Dolph.

Law officials have stated that both rappers were staying at the Loews Hotel in Hollywood, California when their crews got into an argument. Soon after, shots had rung off outside of the hotel.

Original Story: Unfortunately, for the second time this year, Memphis’ own Young Dolph was shot today in Hollywood, California.

Just outside of Shoe Palace at an intersection, Dolph was shot at multiple times in a targeted drive-by. According to TMZ, the rapper was rushed to a nearby hospital, where his injuries aren’t suspected to be life-threatening.

LAPD has also confirmed that two suspects were later apprehended and are now in custody.

Back in February, Young Dolph was involved in a shootout while out in North Carolina for CIAA weekend. Over 100 rounds were shot, however, Young Dolph left the scene without a scratch thanks to his bulletproof SUV. This later sparked his latest project, Bulletproof.

Yo Gotti’s artist, Black Youngsta was arrested in connection to the shooting in March and was charged with six counts of discharging a firearm into occupied property and one count of felony conspiracy. Following his court date in May, Youngsta was released on bond and continues to maintain his innocence and has since dropped a diss track towards Young Dolph titled, “Birthday.”

Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawyer, Alex Spiro, addressed the lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion’s former cameraman Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.

According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”

Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.

Megan Thee Stallion Faces New Lawsuit: Former Cameraman Alleges Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment miixtapechiick

Megan Thee Stallion is being sued by her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Apr. 23, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The suit obtained by NBC News outlines Garcia’s claims, alleging that he had been trapped in a moving vehicle with the Houston rapper in Ibiza while she engaged in sexual activity with another woman. Following this incident, Garcia says he was cautioned not to discuss what he witnessed and was subsequently subjected to beratement, fat-shaming, and differential treatment by Megan.

“What I learned throughout the years is that, especially coming from an from an office environment, is you know, there’s no HR department in the entertainment business,” Garcia told NBC News in an interview. “So if you don’t know that you’re being done wrong, you don’t really know how to advocate for yourself until you start asking maybe you start asking your peers who have representation, they have agents, they have management, they have attorney. So I just really just want to encourage people to advocate for themselves.”

Garcia also stated in the lawsuit that the severity and frequency of the harassment created an intolerable work environment. Garcia began his role as Megan Thee Stallion’s personal cameraman in 2018, continuing until June 2023. Seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.

Following the Ibiza incident, Garcia claims his payment structure shifted from a flat monthly rate to a task-based system requiring invoice submissions for each assignment. Subsequently, he was terminated in June 2023 by Roc Nation, with notification that his services were no longer needed.

“Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behavior and quit this sort of sexual harassment and fat shaming conduct,” said Ron Zambrano, an attorney for Garcia, in a statement to NBC News. “Emilio should never have been put in a position of having to be in the vehicle with her while she had sex with another woman. ‘Inappropriate’ is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal.”
