Mia Jaye spent her Saturday, July 27, honoring the memory of her late partner, Young Dolph, who would have turned 39 on this day. She attended a memorial event celebrating his life and legacy, reflecting on the times they shared together and the family they built. This event was a poignant moment for her and others who gathered to remember the influential Memphis rapper who was tragically killed in 2021.
Young Dolph, whose real name was Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was shot and killed in November 2021 at a popular Memphis cookie store. The autopsy revealed that he was struck by 22 bullets, a shocking and violent end for the beloved artist known for his music and influence in the community. Mia Jaye, along with fans and loved ones, continues to mourn his loss deeply, marking occasions like his would-be birthday to keep his memory alive.
The memorial event, called the ‘Spirit Of Dolph Heavenly Birthday Celebration,’ was held at Atlanta’s Westside Cultural Arts Center. Mia Jaye attended, dressed in a white blouse and blue pants, mingling with other attendees and admiring artwork dedicated to Young Dolph. This event was a part of the ongoing efforts to honor and remember the late rapper’s impact and legacy.
On social media, Mia Jaye shared a heartfelt post featuring four photos that captured moments from their life together. The images included a throwback picture of the couple, a video of them enjoying time together, a clip of Dolph on a waterslide with their children, and a family photo. Her caption expressed gratitude for the time they shared, the lessons he taught, and the enduring love she feels for him despite his absence.
In addition to honoring Dolph’s memory, Mia Jaye has been vocal about her frustrations with the legal proceedings surrounding his murder. In May, she took to social media to criticize the Memphis justice system for delays in the trial of the men accused of killing Young Dolph. The trial, initially set for June, was postponed to September, marking the second delay and adding to her distress over seeking justice for her late partner.
