oulja Boy has been removed from the last two shows on The Millennium Tour this weekend because of his beef with the late Young Dolph. Promoter G-Squared Events made the decision because of the possibility of a retaliation against Soulja Boy,

"In response to the tragic shooting death of rap artist Young Dolph, The Millennium Tour 2021 Tour promoter, G-Squared Events, has determined that rapper Soulja Boy will not perform during this weekend’s tour stops in St. Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee," the promoter posted on the company's Facebook page.

Soulja responded to the announcement, writing on Instagram, “I’m still getting paid what him dying got do with me? I’m tryna see my fans.” 

The answer?  Earlier this month, Dolph and Soulja Boy dissed each other on social media, Soulja saying, "Ain’t you the n**** getting shot at 100 times? “Ain’t you the n**** getting popped and shot at all the time? F*** Young Dolph." The "Crank That" rapper was referencing when Dolph's car was shot at over 100 times in 2017 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Then on Wednesday, the day Dolph was fatally shot, Soulja faced released “Stretch Some,” which many believed was a Dolph diss track. Also, as previously reported, a man was shot on Thursday afternoon near the site of a memorial for Dolph in Memphis. Police said Friday three men have been arrested, according to ABC Memphis affiliate WATN-TVTerrance Jones, 23, 19-year-old Jailon Nelvis and Tavis McQueen, 22, are each charged with aggravated assault, evading arrest, reckless endangerment, theft, and more in that shooting.

Authorities are still searching for suspects in death of Young Dolph, who died Wednesday after being shot outside of the Makeda's Cookie shop in Memphis.
