Mia Jaye Speaks On The Passing Of Young Dolph: “It’s Been Extremely Difficult To Find The Strength For My Children”
Mia Jaye, Young Dolph’s longtime partner and mother to his two children, is speaking out about what the past two months have been like for her. In an interview with ABC24, Mia shares how “difficult” it’s been for her after Dolph was gunned down in his hometown.
“It’s been extremely difficult, just having to pick up the pieces and to find the strength for my children, most importantly,” she said. “That is the one thing to Adolph and myself that we felt we had a duty to protect them, raise them and do so much for them together. Now that he’s no longer here, it’s tough for me to be strong for them and also be strong for myself. Adolph was my soul mate and when I say they stole my future, it has taken a long time to iron out the kinks.”

She went on to say, “Being with a celebrity — someone who is very busy that’s on the road a lot — family can take a back seat. He finally made the sacrifices and was present. We were doing things like planning our wedding [and] having a surprise wedding to celebrate with our family and friends.”
“After being with him [for] almost a decade, we were getting to that point where we could celebrate our love story with the people that we love most, our children. That’s been taken from me and to find strength in it all has been very difficult for me.”
As we previously reported, the rapper, whose real name was Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was fatally shot November 17, 2021, at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in Memphis, Tennessee. So far, three men have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting. The 36-year-old is survived by two children.
