Rapper Gillie Da Kid's son, YNG Cheese, killed in shooting.

In a tragic incident, YNG Cheese, the son of Gillie Da Kid, host of Barstool Sports' "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" and a rapper, was killed in a shooting in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Police Department confirmed that Devin Spady, 25, was one of the victims in a triple shooting that took place in the 5800 Mascher St. area. The investigation is currently ongoing with the Homicide Unit.

Gillie's co-host, Wallo, shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, expressing his love and grief for YNG Cheese. He posted several photos of the late musician, including one of him holding his 2-year-old son. Wallo's emotional message conveyed the pain he felt and his promise to take care of YNG Cheese's father.

The news of YNG Cheese's death also prompted reactions from various entertainers and friends of Gillie. 21 Savage, Sway Calloway, Big Boi, and 03 Greedo all paid tribute and offered their support to Gillie during this difficult time.

According to authorities, the shooting occurred around 8:24 p.m. Spady was rushed to Einstein Medical Center but was pronounced dead at 8:39 p.m. He had been shot in the back. The other two victims, a 28-year-old man and a 31-year-old man, were also taken to the hospital and are currently in stable condition. The motive for the shooting remains unknown, and no arrests have been made.

Sources have revealed that YNG Cheese was Spady's stage name. The scene of the crime contained 10 spent shell casings, and one victim sought refuge in a nearby home. An SUV found running at the corner of Mascher and Nedro Avenue is now part of the investigation.

Just last month, YNG Cheese celebrated Father's Day by sharing a photo of his son on Instagram. He expressed his love and dedication to his child, stating that he would go against the world for him. Prior to that, he celebrated his son's second birthday with a joyous family gathering.
