Yo Gotti Cleared of Charges in Memphis Club Shooting
Criminal charges against rapper Yo Gotti stemming from a shooting outside a Memphis, Tenn. nightclub last year, were dropped on Wednesday (Jan. 19). Gotti, born Mario Mims, was slapped with an aggravated riot charge following the altercation outside of Level II nightclub on the South East side of the city. “Case dismissed, it’s over,” Gotti told local news station Fox 13 news. “It’s false allegations.”
Gotti stated that the publicity over the incident, which took place over Thanksgiving weekend, cast a negative shadow over his image. “For them to put it out there and run with it, of course it’s a little damaging, but like I said, I knew it was all going to come to this,” he explained. “I’m a entertainer. I’m in entertainment. I understand it. I know it’s like it’s a protocol of going through it, going through the courts and getting to this point where it gets dismissed, and we’re back to where we were at in the beginning.”
