On Thursday, a tragic incident occurred in Philadelphia, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Devin Spady in a triple shooting. Devin, also known as YNG Cheese, was the son of rapper Gillie Da Kid and a co-host of Barstool Sports’ “Million Dollaz Worth of Game.”
The shooting took place in the 5,800 Mascher St. area, as confirmed by the Philadelphia Police Department. The investigation into the incident is actively being handled by the Homicide Unit.
The heartbreaking news was shared by Gillie’s co-host, Wallo, on Instagram, where he posted several photos of YNG Cheese, including a touching image of him with his 2-year-old son. The loss of this young musician has deeply impacted those close to him and the entire community. Here’s what Wallo wrote on the social platform, “Lil Cuz usually when I talk to you, I got a lot to tell you. Tonight the pain in my heart & tears spoke to you. I love you beyond life Cheese. I got your father, Rest Well (broken heart emojis)”
The news of YNG Cheese’s tragic death has deeply impacted the entertainment community, prompting several notable figures like 21 Savage, Sway Calloway, Big Boi, and 03 Greedo to pay their heartfelt tributes.
