Multiple stories were published claiming Johnson was represented by Horne. Young Dolph was a longtime rival of Horne’s client Yo Gotti, prompting the attorney to set the record straight. “After reading a few recent articles, receiving numerous phone calls and text messages from friends and colleagues, it has come to my attention that my name and my law firm have been associated with an individual who was recently arrested for the murder of Adolph Thornton Jr. also known as Young Dolph,” the lawyer wrote. “At this time, I would like to dispel any rumors and/or misinformation that relates to my representation involving anyone charged in the murder of Adolph Thornton Jr.” Horne emphasized, “At no time have I now or ever been retained to represent any of the individuals arrested for the murder of Young Dolph.”
