Hours after Rapper Tdott Woo signed a recording contract with Million Dollar Music, he was shot dead outside his home in Brooklyn. The rapper, whose real name was Tajay Dobson, was rushed to the hospital, but could not survive.
A close friend of rapper Pop Smoke, who was shot dead in February 2020, Tdott is known for the viral Woo Walk dance move.
Rapper's Grandmother Heard Gunshots
The fatal shooting took outside Tdott's home on Avenue L near E. 98th St. in Canarsie. It was reported that the rapper was shot in the head around 2.20 pm on Tuesday.
Speaking to the Daily News, the rapper's grandmother, who didn't wish to reveal her name, said that she heard four shots at the time his grandson was attacked.
"It seems like somebody called him and he went outside. I hear the four shots, three in his back and one in his head I think. It was boom, boom, boom, boom, very quick rapid shots," she said.
"I was wondering and I said, 'No, that's too close to home, the shooting has to be near here.' Then I found out it's my grandson that got shot, he died in the hospital," she went on to add.
The woman further stated that after seeing Tdott's bleeding body lying on the ground in front of the home she called 911. "He was bleeding out. He was out there alone, and I started to cry and call 911," she said.
"I couldn't even get sleep last night. He was a good, good kid. ... He loved singing and dancing and all that. He had a passion for music," the grieving grandmother told the outlet.
