Yungeen Ace recently dropped a new track titled “Do It,” where he openly raps about taking down his enemies. The song was released shortly after news broke that his rival, Julio Foolio, was tragically shot and killed in the parking lot of a Tampa hotel. The confirmation of Foolio’s passing came from his lawyer, as reported by WTSP-TV.
Although Yungeen doesn’t directly mention Foolio by name in the song, the accompanying video portrays masked individuals engaged in a shooting incident, resembling the scene of a motel parking lot.
The lyrics of the track are unequivocally about committing acts of violence. Yungeen raps lines like, “Catch his ass and do his ass, you know he finished,” and “Flip his ass and smoke his ass, we stand on business.”
Ace and Foolio have a history of violent animosity dating back to 2017 when Foolio’s cousin was fatally shot. An individual linked to Yungeen Ace faced charges in connection with the murder. The tensions escalated further in 2018 when Ace was targeted in a retaliatory drive-by shooting that resulted in the deaths of his brother and two others.
Foolio responded to the violent events with social media posts celebrating the shootings. In a similar fashion, Ace released a track in March 2021 titled “Who I Smoke,” where he mentioned the names of individuals associated with Foolio who had passed away.
In a retaliatory move, Foolio dropped a diss track in April 2021 called “When I See You,” mocking Ace and the deceased individuals from the drive-by. The official music video even depicted Foolio lying on a photo of Ace’s brother and two friends in a cemetery setting.
Tragically, Foolio was one of four individuals injured in a shooting incident outside a Tampa Holiday Inn where he was celebrating his birthday. The altercation began after Foolio and his group were asked to leave an Airbnb due to an excessive number of occupants. They relocated to the Holiday Inn but were met with violence.
According to a statement from the Tampa Police Department, the shooting occurred around 4:40 am, resulting in four individuals sustaining injuries. Unfortunately, Foolio succumbed to his injuries, while the other victims are currently receiving medical treatment with stable conditions.
