AceShowbiz - A lawyer for rapper Yo Gotti is "confident" he will be cleared of any involvement in a shooting in Memphis, Tennessee following his arrest on Monday, December 13. The hip-hop star, real name Mario Mims, is facing a felony charge for aggravated riot stemming from an alleged verbal altercation with his pal, OG Boo Dirty, on November 29.

A third man interfered and a fight is said to have broken out, resulting in a shooting which left several people injured. Gotti surrendered to police on Monday after he was named as a person of interest, and he was subsequently hit with the felony count.
