Young Dolph Says He Was Racially Profiled, Issues Graphic Wishes for Wives of Virginia Cops Who Stopped His Tour Bus

Young Dolph had some choice words for some Virginia police officers who he claimed stopped and harassed his crew.

According to a now deleted-Instagram post, the Memphis rapper was in Newport News, Va., on Monday, Jan. 28, to perform at Boathouse Live when one of his tour buses was pulled over for no apparent reason.

Young Dolph said he was racially profiled by Newport News, Va. police.

“@Why 15 officers come to my tour bus lookin for me?” he wrote the following day. “Cause I’m Black? Cause I’m a rapper? Cause I’m rich? Why y’all have my boys out in the cold searching them? I know y’all racist p*ssies felt like dummies when u discovered I wasn’t on the bus. The owners of the club came out and told y’all if we were a white music group y’all wouldn’t have f*kd wit us.”

Then Dolph said he’d like the officers to be paid back for the harassment in a very specific way.

“I hope every last one of y’all wives was at home sukin some Black garbage man’s d— while y’all was out f—n with us for nuthin,” he wrote. “I hope all y’all daughters was gettin gangbanged by a group of Black guys at your house in the living room. I hope all the female officers that was out there turn into heroin addicts. F—-KK YALLLLLLL?? Sincerely, Paper Route Frank.”

Meanwhile, it’s been almost two years since Dolph survived more than 100 rounds of gunfire directed his way when his SUV was riddled with bullets in Charlotte, N.C., in 2017 during CIAA weekend. At the time, Dolph was in a well-known beef with fellow Memphis rapper Yo Gotti, and Gotti’s artist Blac Youngsta was charged with being one of the triggermen.

Youngsta, whose real name is Sammie Benson, will begin trial for the shooting on Feb. 6 in Mecklenburg County Criminal Superior Court.

He’s been hit with five counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied moving vehicle and one count of conspiracy to commit discharging a gun into an occupied vehicle. In October 2018, another of Gotti’s affiliates, Howard “Keon” Wright, was sentenced to 10 to 14 years for his involvement in the shooting.

In regards to Dolph’s police encounter, no arrests were reported.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
