Young Dolph‘s family is speaking out for the first time since the rapper’s fatal shooting.
A publicist for the late rapper released a statement from the family Wednesday saying:
“There are no words that exist, that sufficiently express the pain we are feeling as a family. Losing Adolph, Dolph, Man-Man, changes our lives forever. And while we will take each day as it comes, we are comforted in knowing that he leaves a legacy that reflects his heart. A heart that was for his family. A heart that was for the people.
“We are grateful for the outpouring of love. We are grateful that his godly obligation to show kindness to the world is being acknowledged.
“As a family, we were blessed to call him our son, our nephew, our brother, our cousin, our partner and our Father. And now, we have the honor of calling him our angel. A role he has always played.”
The rapper was gunned down on November 17 as he went to purchase cookies at local Memphis bakery, Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies. He was 36.
