After the shooting, Big Jook allegedly told the shooters it was “too hot” to give them the $100,000, and Smith claims he only received $800 for carrying out the murder. </p><p>While on the stand, Smith also testified that his lawyer was paid by Yo Gotti’s CMG label. When the prosecutor argued that the label put up $50,000 for his attorney, Smith said he didn’t know how much but confirmed the money came from someone at CMG. </p><p>The prosecutor asked if his conscience was bothering him after taking the money for killing Dolph. </p><p>“Well, I had already did it, so might as well,” he replied. “I got a conscience still, after I came to my senses.” </p><p>The prosecutor added, “There’s no question that that money was for services rendered, killing Dolph,” to which Smith replied, “Basically.” </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One of Young Dolph's alleged killers testified that someone from Yo Gotti's label, CMG, paid $50,000 for his lawyer.<br><br><br><br><a href="https://t.co/dsXaP7ndcq">pic.twitter.com/dsXaP7ndcq</a></p>— CelebRapInsider 🎤🎧 (@CelebRapInsider) <a href="https://twitter.com/CelebRapInsider/status/1838739581006426187?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote><p>Meanwhile, Yo Gotti is drawing intense backlash amid Young Dolph’s trial.
