Mother of Slain Chicago Rapper BloodHound Q50 Speaks Out: “Somebody Momma Gone Be Crying Like Me”

Chicago drill rapper BloodHound Q50 was murdered in cold blood early Sunday morning while he was sitting in his car at a South Side gas station, according to authorities.

According to the police and various news reports, a 22-year-old man was driving a car in the Fuller Park neighborhood at around 3:58 a.m. when two other vehicles parked near him and started shooting. The young man got shots in the chest and shoulder, resulting in his death on the spot despite the best efforts made by responding officers to save him. The incident took place at the intersection of 4200 South Wentworth Avenue. As per a preliminary police report, six shooters shot more than 50 rounds at the young man who was sitting in a white 2019 Tesla at the BP gas station located at 4248 S. Wentworth Ave.

The shooters escaped from the scene riding a black Acura sedan and a silver Honda Accord that went straight onto the Dan Ryan Expressway. At the moment, neither the victim has been identified publicly nor has a medical examiner’s report been made available by the authorities.

An audio tape from the dispatch service, circulating on the internet, shows that a responding officer identifies the victim as Mikquale Cooper, born on August 6, 2004, the same age and name as the rapper. Some videos, shared on social media, show a Tesla surrounded by shell casings. The rapper’s mother, Machetta Dudley, mentioned the tragedy on her Facebook page.

In the message, which contains a lot of curse words, she warns that another mother will be grieving as she was grieving, that many people were afraid of her son and now they should be afraid of him, and that her son was gone, telling her to leave social media alone.

Cooper celebrated his 22nd birthday on August 6 and launched his new project, Get Back or Die Trying, on that day. This album featured a late BloodHound rapper, Lil Jeff, who died back in 2024. Cooper managed to survive another shooting in August last year and gave a response to it on social media. Rolling Loud, which booked the rapper for their Orlando, Florida festival back in the spring of this year, offered their condolences Sunday. So did DJ Vlad, who interviewed the rapper last year. No one has been arrested yet.
