According to police, Yo Gotti, born Mario Mims and a rapper named OG Boo Dirty, born Lance N. Taylor, were involved in an argument when a third man named Corey McClendon joined in.
OG Boo Dirty, who has YouTube video dissing Yo Gotti, is accused of striking McClendon during the verbal altercation.
The punch sparked a fight involving as many as eight men and shortly into the rumble, someone escalated the brawl into a shooting that left six of the men with gunshot wounds.
According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, OG Boo Dirty is facing two attempted murder charges stemming from two separate incidents in September, while he also faces one count of aggravated arson for targeting the victims of those crimes.
If convicted, Yo Gotti could face one to six years in prison.
