This song is aimed at Young Dolph who has had beef with gotti.

The beef began in 2014, when Dolph was just emerging as a mixtape artist, he began saying publicly that he’d turned down an offer to join Gotti’s CMG record label.

In the winter of 2016, Dolph again alluded to Gotti and his decision not to sign to his CMG label on Twitter. He subsequently released his full-length debut “The King of Memphis”, which peaked at number 49 on the Billboard chart. The title alone was incendiary, seen as a direct challenge to Gotti’s claim on that position.

Through 2016, the bickering was largely between Dolph and members of Gotti’s camp, namely Blac Youngsta, who threw a Dolph diss into one of his tracks and filmed a video of himself prowling Dolph’s South Memphis neighborhood heavily armed. Gotti mostly stayed on the sidelines and in September of that year, in a video, downplayed any animosity between himself and Dolph.

At the start of 2017, it seemed possible that the whole affair might have been a winking feud manufactured by both men for publicity. Though more likely it was Dolph’s attempt to generate his own publicity by going after the better known and more established artist.

In February 2017, Dolph reignited the “feud” with a diss track that took dead aim on Gotti (derisively characterizing him as “Ho Gotti”). The song “Play Wit Yo’ B***” suggested he’d been intimate with the mother of Gotti’s child.

Gotti took a high-handed approach to the track, logging on to Twitter and noting that he wouldn’t stoop to his provocations. “I’m business partners with LA Reid N Jay Z” he wrote, noting CMG’s association with the L.A. Reid-run Epic records and Jay-Z’s entertainment management company Roc Nation.

Eventually, after more Dolph entreaties, Gotti fired back in song with “Don’t Beef Wit Me” – while still refusing to acknowledge his rival by name. Dolph then replied with a video for “Play Wit Yo’ Bitch” which featured a Gotti look-alike being mocked.

Soon after, on Feb. 25, while on tour in Charlotte, North Carolina a vehicle Dolph was riding in was shot at. Allegedly more than 100 rounds were fired into the car, which was bulletproof, and Dolph was unharmed, performing a concert that night.

In April, following the shooting, Dolph released his second LP, the fittingly titled “Bulletproof” which debuted at number 36 on the Billboard chart.

In May, Gotti associate Blac Youngsta was one of three men who surrendered to authorities in Charlotte for their alleged involvement in the shooting. According to the Charlotte Observer, “Charlotte-Mecklenburg police charged Blac Youngsta, Frederick Black and Antavius Gardner with six counts each of discharging a weapon into occupied property and felony conspiracy.” Youngsta was released on bail and further court proceedings are still awaiting. Corey McClendon and Gotti were both arrested after five people were shot in the parking lot of Level II nightclub on American Way. but the charges against Gotti were dropped in the 2010 brawl due to a lack of witnesses.

McClendon was shot during the brawl. so was Dolph but he survived the second time. In February, he was fired at in Charlotte, North Carolina. Blac Youngsta, was among the men charged in that incident.

Still, the Dolph-Gotti beef remained a background issue as Both artists stars begin to rise.
