The late Anthony “Big Jook” Mims, brother of rapper Yo Gotti, has reportedly been linked to a list of bounties targeting various members of the Paper Route EMPIRE (PRE) record label. This information gained traction after a recent viral post, where podcaster and internet figure DJ Akademiks shared purported court documents that suggest these claims were leaked by prosecuting authorities.
The document allegedly enumerates several individuals within PRE who had bounties placed on them, including a staggering $100,000 for Adolph Thornton, better known as Young Dolph; $50,000 each for Markeyvius Cathey, or Key Glock, and Terrance Baker, also referred to as PRE Woo; along with bounties of $5,000 for Zequelius Da Venport, aka Moochie Grape, and $20,000 for Snoop Bands, commonly known as Snupe Bandz.
The now-viral allegations concerning Big Jook’s bounties have sparked mixed reactions across social media. User @sammisosaa216 voiced their concern in the comments of Akademiks’ post, stating:
“As I mentioned, we need to safeguard Key Glock at all costs.”
Many others joined the fray, denouncing the situation as “disgusting”and “sickening.”
Numerous commenters also placed blame on Yo Gotti for allegedly permitting his brother to issue bounties against PRE artists, warning him of potential repercussions.
In the ongoing murder trial of Young Dolph, prosecutors allege that Big Jook orchestrated a hit on the rapper. However, the claims remain to be substantiated in a court setting. Young Dolph was tragically killed in 2021, and those suspected of his murder are currently undergoing legal proceedings.
Insights on Big Jook, Yo Gotti’s Deceased Brother
Big Jook, whose full name was Anthony Mims, was the older sibling of Memphis rapper and record executive Mario “Yo Gotti” Mims. Both brothers played significant roles within Yo Gotti’s record label, Collective Music Group (CMG), partnered with Interscope Records.
Though Big Jook’s specific role at the label isn’t precisely detailed, he contributed to talent scouting, management, and promotional efforts. He frequently accompanied Yo Gotti at various music functions, award ceremonies, concerts, and video productions. On social media, he referred to himself as “Jook the Boss” and described himself as an entrepreneur while amassing 175,000 followers on Instagram.
Tragically, Big Jook was fatally shot multiple times in January earlier this year while inside a vehicle near Winchester Road, Memphis, alongside another male, who survived the attack. Jook was there to attend a repass following a relative’s funeral, passing away at the age of 47.
Currently, the Memphis Police Department has not issued any charges related to the murder of Yo Gotti’s brother, and the rapper himself has yet to publicly address the incident.
For those not aware, CMG has been involved in a protracted rivalry with the PRE label, which has led to numerous fatalities among members of both camps in recent years.
