YOUNG DOLPH MURAL VANDALIZED IN MEMPHIS FOLLOWING ‘THREATS’ AGAINST ARTIST

A mural honoring the late Young Dolph was recently vandalized with paint, according to FOX13 Memphis. Surveillance footage shows two people defacing the mural — located at a shopping center in South Memphis off Norris Road — in the early hours of Thursday morning (July 21).

The mural was painted by local artist Cameron Hill who idolized the rapper. Hill was working on the mural on Monday (July 18) and Tuesday (July 19) at the King of Discounts Mini Mart, but says he took a break due to hateful messages he was receiving.

“Young Dolph meant everything to me,” he said. “I’m 26 years old, so I grew up looking and watching Young Dolph. I started receiving hateful messages, hateful phone calls, so I paused for a day.”

Hill believes he knows who’s responsible for vandalizing the mural, but doesn’t plan to press charges.
