Mia Jaye, Young Dolph’s Partner, Team’s With NAACP To Discuss Solutions To End Memphis Violence

Mia Jaye Jaye isn’t giving up on finding ways to end the violent crimes in Memphis, Tennessee.

Jaye is the mother of late rapper Young Dolph’s two children and his lifelong partner. She is determined to fight against the ongoing violence ravishing Memphis.

On Wednesday, she joined NAACP for a town hall to discuss a litany of topics, including possible crime prevention methods for the city and life after Dolph’s murder, ReVolt Tv reported.

“Death is permanent, we can’t take that back,” Jaye told Fox 13 Memphis when asked how she’s coping with the rapper’s death. “That one action has torn out the hearts of many when that should be something that should eat away at your conscience to know that you have literally broken the hearts of mothers, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, children, fiancés, the whole family.”

Unfortunately, Dolph’s passing isn’t Jaye’s first experience of loss related to gun violence. Roughly a year before Dolph’s murder, her brother, who was a salesman, was shot and killed by “an unhappy customer” while on the job. Senseless killings have made her determined for “some change.”

“Memphis has broken my heart twice,” she continued. “I’m robotic in a sense to where I’m so determined to make sure that in Adolph’s name and his honor that some change is made.”

Even before Dolph’s death, Jaye was committed to the cause. Following her brother’s murder, she launched her campaign, Black Men Deserve To Grow Old, with hopes of protecting Black men from gun violence and other violent crimes.

“When God created each individual, he assigned them a task to fulfill and when these men are taken from this world prematurely, that Task… Purpose… Assignment may be left undone⁣,” she previously wrote on Instagram. “So when I advocate for all the Black Men who are 20 times more likely than their other male counterparts, to die prematurely due to violent crime that happens within OUR community… I am advocating for these men to live out their Purpose and positively impact the Black Community. I am doing this for the Men in my family and Yours.”
