“Thank you to the fans, artists and everyone involved behind the scenes for making Birthday Bash a smooth, secure and successful event,” he wrote.

Yo Gotti took to social media on Saturday to thank fans and authorities for ensuring Birthday Bash was a safe event, and the incident involving Hyman took place hours after the show had concluded. Police were first called to the scene after receiving word of an “armed mental consumer” and met the suspect, Elijah Hyman, and his girlfriend.Īccording to MPD, Hyman had several weapons inside his apartment and was bleeding from his right hand after being cut by a glass window. Memphis PD apprehended the man on Saturday (July 16) and charged him with an act of terrorism. According to Fox 13 Memphis, a mass shooting incident was thwarted by police after a man threatened to shoot himself and numerous people near the FedExForum after his girlfriend broke up with him. In May, Gotti and several CMG artists (EST Gee, Mozzy, Blac Youngsta and Lehla Samia) were featured on the cover of the music industry bible Billboard, which crowned the Memphis company as “The Hardest-Working Label in Hip-Hop.”Īlso, last week, CMG’s chart-topping star Moneybagg Yo released a new single, “See Wat I’m Sayin,” which is reportedly a prelude to the release of a new album from the rapper, following last year’s breakout “A Gangsta’s Pain.Yo Gotti’s eighth annual Birthday Bash concert at the FedExForum on Friday (July 15) almost became a tragic scene for those in attendance.

The team-up with the NBA and its various partners marks another high-profile milestone for Gotti and CMG. Moneybagg Yo offers the track’s lyrical centerpiece, rapping: “Been won a championship in the trap/This Rollie a trophy, I hold it up/They let us get up in the points, it’s a wrap/Gon’ shine every time, it’s an open look.”

Yo Gotti and his CMG label are providing the official soundtrack to the 2022 NBA Finals.
