She’s literally shaking n holding back tears the whole interview. God bless her. I love rap music but dissing the departed has gone way to far. It’s literally in every song they put out. Us as fans should NOT accept songs/rappers who do it. We should hold them accountable and say hey, “we will not listen to you nor support you in anyway if you continue to diss the departed” it seems like a stretch but I know we as people have power to change anything
1,000,000% agree. Fans have the power. I used to listen to it but reciting the lyrics makes me sick.. words have power. I was a fan of Duck and Durk hoping they would make a truce then Duck died and Durk started mocking him and it just f*caked me up.. like bro he was trying so hard to get him and his family out of the hood and y’all kill him like a dog while he’s buying a gift for his son.. no remorse.. mocked him smh fans gotta stop supporting that shit and the tables will turn.
nobody’s gonna say that shit tho be realistic. rap is a form of self expression and it may not be right to diss the dead but this is how most gang members and all that make it out the hood, everyone has a story to tell and we shouldn’t downplay their stories just because it may be too graphic
Cried so hard for her while watching this interview . She was so strong and I am so glad she was able to tell her story and let it get out to those people who just hear the story but sometimes forget that they were real people with hopes / dreams / families and not just victims of the city. Not just stories to be told after death for entertainment . Sending her so much love and light.
lol don't cry. Parents like here are the reasons those neighborhoods in Chicago exist and every hood around the world. those kids learn ignorance from their elders
@@patrickmillion I’m sure you meant well but I hate when people say sh*t like this. You know how hard it is to move when you’re making barely enough to be where you are in the first place? She was taking the bus to work living in the hood what makes you think she could afford to uproot 3 kids and move? You don’t think she would have if she could? Come on man..
@@spaceghost4628 I remember one lady they mention on the news moved out of her southside home in the middle of night like a few years back cause a bullet went through her home....when it get that bad for you and your kids....you do not wanna stay there.
@@patrickmillion that’s a fact but she didn’t say she, her son or her house had been shot at..just teenagers woofin.. she from the old school.. teenagers wasn’t killing teenagers when she grew up and I’m sure she wasn’t gonna move over a fight.. Her son got killed without a police record, she had no clue he was affiliated or anything.. in her mind his life wasn’t at risk over a few teenagers wanting to fight.
You can tell she is traumatized. The deep breaths, the stumbling over words, and trembling voice. I pray that she finds some type if peace for her own sanity. To relive the day her son passed away is heartbreaking.
Just because her sons got murdered doesn't make her a bad mother. As children get older, they began to explore the world on their own. They pick up on things and etc. For you to write an ignorant comment like this just shows how you were raised. That's if you want to go there.
As a fan of hip hop I am deeply disappointed in the way it has evolved into something evil that has no more morals. No mother should be forced to grieve constantly again and again bc ignorant people want to disrespect her child’s death like it’s a laughing matter. Smh man.
This genuinely hurt my soul. 13 years later and she’s constantly reminded of her 15 year old son being killed on the daily. The record station wouldn’t even edit the song but would rather block her. Even person from the side say he wasn’t a street dude. This is a prime example of how being in the hood does you no good. I pray she’s been able to put some distance between that area and herself for her kids sake.
This lady is shaking tremendously talking about her son, I feel for her so bad, I can’t imagine my child at 15 yrs old, a child!!!! Gunned down & being made fun of, still 10yrs later still being disrespected! Her heart is aching, show some remorse, some respect! I’m praying for her Sanity🙏🏽❤️
If it was the other way around he would and have been doing the same thing that is how it goes. He was just on the losing side. Sorry for the mom but her son did this
I love her, she needs her own thing. She’s such a real person that tells life how it is. She’s truly an inspiration and you can tell she’s an amazing mom too
@@ShyneFourTenFOEThey just be saying anything to argue. I honestly don’t understand why people are bashing single mothers. Regardless if they’re struggling or not, they didn’t abandon their child(ren). People don’t even say shxt to the deadbeats that keep getting women pregnant & abandoning them.
You can’t help but to feel her pain. The Oblock rappers had us all disrespecting Tooka not even knowing the situation. So ma’am if you see this comment I’m personally sorry for singing along to those lyrics. 🙏🏾
Not me I was like why they keep saying this dude name and not Evan met him tf wrong with niggas y’all dissing a dude u never seen or met in your entire life and he’s deceased black folks man ignorant a lot of times
I honestly believe she is a great mother. But coming from were I’m from the mothers have no idea how deep their children are in the street. I used to do some of the wildest shit and come home and my mom would ask me “what you do today” and I would simply reply “nothing much” people want to believe their babies are perfect but at the end of the day these kids are dealing with issue outside the home that have nothing to do with their home situation. These streets is wicked and have a hold on our children. It’s not the parent it the environments we come up in
Yeah trus sh!t you talkn bruh. My moms, and neighbors thought I was the perfect angel. The people two block around the corner knew I was bad as h3ll smh.
My heart is aching , she tried her hardest to get through this interview and be strong , her voice started cracking and I lost it 🥺. Lord please bless and keep her , bring her peace and comfort for the rest of her days 🙏🏾♥️
I was crying just watching this interview. 😢😢his been deceased since 2011 I would be getting money from every last song with his name in it. They won’t let him Rest In Peace !!
For the radio station to block and ignore a grieving mother is really disgusting. If they didn’t wanna stop playing the song the VERY LEAST they could have done was edit it. This woman has been through enough and then to turn the radio on and hear that is just….. smfh. This interview was heart wrenching 💔❤️🩹
If she only knew how much she could of sued the radio along with Chief Keef and any other artist who mentioned his name in a disrespectful way simply for trauma and grievances..
This was a real deep interview. Im literally watching this on my tv before work. And I just had to pick up my phone to comment. If y’all really wanna know how family and friends feel & cope after these kids are deleted on. This was a very touching and genuine interview.
This is so sad. You can tell that she is still deeply hurt about what happened, as she should be. I think everybody need to apologize to this woman. I know that wouldn't help her much because her son is still gone and they need to stop saying his name. The disrespect has to stop. This is his mama. She can't properly grieve due to his name being brought up in disrespectful ways. This interview was sad and anyone who continues to glorify the disrespect is apart of the problem Period. RIP Tooka 🙏
@@justinwatts8997 that could be so, but he gone now. For years at that. That don't have anything to do with his mama now. They need to let her grieve her son properly.
This has to be THE BEST interview with Miss Dominique. I can NOW understand why she breaks down EVERY time she tells Tooka's story. She tried to save her son so many times. Unfortunately, she couldn't help him on this particular day. This interview let us know that she wanted the BEST for her son...her children. She didn't condone of any gang related activities whether TOOKA was involved or not.
I'm feeling for this woman on a whole other level. I already felt a form of empathy and sympathy for her as a son of a mother who always worries about every day. I totally agree that they stop using his name.
Someone should make a go fund me for this lady. She deserve to lay back and live in lavish after all the pain she been put through. Some heartbreaking stuff for real. RIP Tooka
I can only imagine the pain she went through and continues to go through because just like most parents, she had no idea what her son was doing in the streets. Parents can be really naïve because it's hard to believe that he wasn't active or affiliated based on the people he was hanging with. Even in her own words, she's alluding to the fact that he was involved in some capacity because he was kicked out of school, she was getting him a mentor, dudes talking shit to him and trying to fight him. There's no way he wasn't active or affiliated. Especially since he has been getting dissed for a decade.
My only question is these teens are running the streets overnight. 1,2,3 am. Maybe they went out after their parents slept. They did not know what their children were up to. He got kicked out of school. I have a 15 year old planning a sweet 16, I do feel for her. Real tragedy all around.
@@macamo9991 I’m a Illinois investigator, I can tell you that’s Bullshyt. FBG Duck had no verifiable record either. May he rest in peace now but he was a part of FBG crew. His affiliations were his choice, mother is in serious denial. I do pray she receives peace on earth. He was vicious with his hands but a lot of these teens are punks and rather shoot. My point is he was forced to participate in certain illegal activities in the streets bc of the company he kept. He wasn’t on papers bc his crimes were not verifiable. 😢I see a lot of maiming and death, most of it is caused by 9-16yrs. There’s a 9 yr old kid that I interviewed for murdering a grown man over a damn card game. He’s is already gone, his eyes are dark, no remorse, had no record, he is a product of his environment, which is terrifying unfortunately. He understands life and death he just don’t gaf bc in his words no one gaf about him. More proper parenting is needed, men need to be involved in their children’s lives and women need to be held accountable as well. The more positive activities a child participates in, more love shown is gives him a chance to live a productive life.
Tooka wasnt active, he was just friends bruh... Maybe he smoked some kush or some but i feel like thats about it. I never heard him robbing or shooting someone and someone this famous in chicago always got some info out there or word out there. Hes hated cuz they fw him so much not cuz hes a gangster
Stay strong momma! So sad. How genuine she is. Her son died in 2011 and he still can’t Rest In Peace. How crazy this is because all these kids grew up together,went to the same schools. And killing each other and laughing about it. The pain is real . None of them have lived over 30. Dead or in jail. The streets that bad. I would move my family or send my child to another state with family. She wants to believe her son was and good boy! My mother didn’t kno everything I was into. And these kids are living and fast life ,haveing to grow up fast because of the environment
And that’s fucked up cuz I see how it changed us and I’m only 23. Our whole neighborhood got wiped out. Not just my block but MOB JARO CITY TW SQUIRT TOWN OBLOCK FRONTSTREET STL EBT. All of em shordies. I alwayed asked myself how did we get to the point where our OPPs is down the street or our so called OPPs. It’s sad man cuz when I ask my grandma about how Chicago was and the black community in general was. She seems like she started getting sad explaining how close and how very put together our community was. They shouldnt of destroy our community and we shouldn’t have let them and it seems like we too far gone to even think logically🤦🏽♂️ sad man I pray not only for my ppl back in Chicago but our community as a whole
@@aliboom3244 thats the point how you claim something you don't own. Why are defending something you don't own or have the brains to? Own it! You can rightfully protect what you own. Then turn around mad at the white man. Like she said sad and ignorant. I guarantee if the effort was put in to put your name of it ain't no way in hell the streets would be shot up. It's ridiculous. Then look up to these ppl and they never come back to take care of you. The statements not meant as an insult it should be inspirational.
@@aliboom3244 I won't apologize for being passionate about our culture getting out of the gutter mentality. In addition there was noting to question. It only appears to be a rant because it's written communication.
A lot of ppl in these neighborhoods Mothers Fathers Grandfathers Grandmothers Great Aunts etc own their homes in Chicago some ppls families have had homes in their family since the first ones moved to Chicago from the south 💯
I lost my son 2 years ago. I feel her pain. But trying to keep a good name for him being in denial about his actions when alive hurts us more than we know as a parent. I'm sorry for her. For myself. But our sons did things. They wouldn't listen to us. The streets took them from us both two times. I pray she finds peace. Me. I'm taking day 4 day cause I know I did my best. But ... my sons actions took him from me. God saved him. Saved me. Idk what from I just know.
Yes to this! I feel the exact same way. Her making it seem like he was an innocent child just trying to go to school. He was clearly into something. We have no idea what our children are into when they leave the house. Everywhere he went they were trying to fight him? That was for a reason. I’m so sorry for your loss as well mama ❤️🙏🏾
Watching this as a mother I lost it 🙏🏻 prayers to her, her family and all Of Chicago. When she said there’s no remorse and how her generation had structure hit different
I regret my younger years saying 🚬 on tooka, Ms. Gregory if you are reading this I am so sorry that this happened to your son. I am also on the autism spectrum!
Sometimes a mother don’t know. She know she did her best. But some parents really don’t know what’s going on. A lot of parents are really strict and that’s why the kids begin to be sneaky and seek fun because their “bored” I wish her nothing but peace. But her heart is still broken, I can hear it. Prayers for u lady ❤️
@@chasehim1233 we used to not add our parents on social media plus most of our parents wasnt even fuckin wit the socials back then so its not hard to not know.
This lady is doing a whole lot of projecting and is full of regret. She mentioned a male friend basically warning her about her child's reakless mouth, and she didn't want to hear it. She said her son was a good fighter and if he couldn't beat you he would poke you with the knife he carried. He was often kicked out of school and was signed up for wrestling to control his anger, he gained his name from being known to have an attitude...with all of that going on, i know for a fact her and her grandmother couldn't control him. That's why she said it starts at home. It does and although they did the best they could, her home/community was dysfunctional. May she find peace.
Tooka is dead because of the way he was raised. Just like my two brothers and father. It's hard to change , it's hard to learn , I was a product of my environment just like this women. We bring this kids into the world and we don't give them a chance. How many kids did tooka kill or woulda killed? How many kids is this women gonna lose? I hope tooka losing his life has changed her as a mother.
Facts I find it funny how parents say there kids not gang affiliated or a gang member like mf be knowing they kids bad gang banging we see tooka in hella pic with fbg and pics of him throwing up gd he might not been a official member of a gang but he was definitely gang affiliated
Man, I feel for this woman. Bc she may not have really known if he was involved in street shit or not. But the pain that is caused from street shit is overwhelming to the mothers who may not even know wtf is going on. You can literally see and hear her pain.
Tooka wasnt in the streets, they from Lowend and i think they got into it with STL dudes at first. He was hanging around, but not active. I would hang around them too if that was the only other teens in my city, dont no one wanna be the outsider🤣
Shes not in denial shes jus not going to switch up. She mentioned she used to live the life. Being a “ hood “ mom you jus stick beside them. She knows his lifestyle no way she didn’t. She jus wont say it to give amo if that makes sense
There’s a part when she’s talking about back in the day when everyone could discipline a child when they were doing something wrong but she also said her boyfriend felt she allowed her kids to say anything, people get defensive when it comes to there kids, women should definitely really consider the man point of view in those instances because the man will recognize things in another man/boy that a woman may miss and vise versa with girls
@@beankobe8205 exactly he’s 15 and doesn’t know shit, when a (real)man is present a child should show some respect and listen because a lot men use the woman for whatever purpose and don’t give af about the kid’s, if he speaks up it’s out of concern
@@beankobe8205 Meaning a 15 year old should be correct by an adult and know his place as a child. Thing he didn't and let the grown up streets take care of him.
@@goteereacts5011 men??? men are the reason all this gang related shit is happening. you don’t need a man in every household. my life was amazing until my step dad came into it. my life went down hill. y’all stay thinking the world revolves around u and it doesn’t ☠️
I hardly ever cry, but watching this woman struggle the whole time just trying to talk and hearing her speak about when she saw her son on the ground broke my heart 😭 Lord I wish people would just leave this lady and her deceased son in peace smh making all that money rapping about him 😏 somebody need to cut his momma a check !
Listening to this woman makes my heart break! I literally have tears rolling down my face. It’s just so, so, sad and this woman is hurting sooooo much and always will. No one should make fun of someone who was killed, especially kids! But no one at all should diss the dead, the family that is left behind has to deal with that, especially when it is in a song!! So horrible what the mom’s , dad’s, and siblings have to deal with!! People think it’s funny making fun of the people that have gotten killed (.that they hated.). But what do they do when their best friend, or loved one gets killed??? Then they hurt and go through it also!!! So all this killing needs to stop! They kill each other over barely nothing!! Instead of using your hands and fighting it out, they are taking each other’s lives, and that’s forever!!!! It is awful to just look at this year so far, and see how many rappers, and people that are in gangs , and also the innocent victims, that have gotten killed since January!!!! I pray this ends and they find another way to settle differences, instead of killing, and then everyone lives!!! God please bless this woman and all the other moms and family that have lost their lives to gun violence!
Which is why I don’t see how people praise Vons so much he Was a psychopathic ass serial killer took a wasnt no killer He was a kid hanging around the wrong people
Rip Tooka! But his mom Def didn't know what whe was really into. Not hard to get around a strict parent. And I've heard of gang members that had both parents in life. Good upbringing and still got into gangs. I'm sorry Ms Dominique but ya Def didn't know everything tooka was up to.
u saying that but if u listen to Tooka Mother and if u know u know.he moved around and because he wasn’t affiliated it was all speculation which could of led to him joining or not but a lot of times these gangs press to initiate and Tooka was a fighter,he wasn’t going so they hated that and unfortunately that’s probably what led him to be a Target
Damn I lived through every hip hop generation since the 90s and I must say this Era breaks my spirit. People wonder why we get laughed at and they tell jokes about us at the dinner parties.... we gotta do better not just me but our Generation ....
I feel bad that she had to witness her son dying but I really think she knew her son was in them streets heavy. She kept contradicting herself on his up bringing
Sad to say they all know 💯 the same excuses are always passed around “in our time it was structured women and kids were off limits” that’s the only thing they can say because in reality they know this is what they raised this is what they allowed I’m from Chicago born and raised & parents born and raised who was heavy in that life Ik the good bad and the ugly 💯
@@calixtecadet trust and believe mothers got intuition and somebody she know seen you nbs parents got eyes and ears everywhere just cause you think ain’t nobody watching don’t mean shit she just prolly never brought it to you
I enjoyed this interview. She seems to be such a nice person. It made me sad listening to what happened prior to him being taken, as well as afterwards. She’s so strong and admirable.
Goddamn what took y’all so long to bring this black woman some tissue? No condolences or heartfelt apologies for the loss of her son or nuttin! Y’all sad af, heartless ass interview. Do better Say Cheese!
My heart cries for her. No parent should have to bury a child. I feel she did the best she could to raise her children. Although she wasn’t aware, I think he was probably doing some things behind her back. He was targeted too much to have been innocent.
I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine it. I lost both of my parents, and even as an adult, I hurt everyday dealing with it. Losing one of my children? I don't think I'd recover. Love from Ohio. ❤❤❤
Feel for her as a mother fo sho. She is definitely the typical Loving mother who is going to stand behind her son no matter what. Unfortunately, mother's don't know Everything that's happening out in them streets with the young boys. We don't tell y'all what we're doing out there.
Crazy how parents who go to work and try to provide don’t know who their kids really are in the streets. Shorty was out here throwing up the rakes and everybody in the streets knew who he was but she didn’t.
This interview hit different😭. Prayers to her💗 prayers to all the single mothers that have to play both parts that plays a big part on why most those boys grow and up and end up in the streets.
Omg to see her shaking & fighting back tears hurts to the core fr. I’ve been amongst the ignorant people to rap along with the lyrics of “smoking on tooka” & I’m so sorry for that fr I didn’t know any better & I should’ve because my mother has lost a child as well but not to gun violence. My brother was just shot 6x 2 days ago in Detroit but luckily he’s still here on earth. I will NEVER speak of Tooka’s name in a negative way EVER AGAIN ! This mother is in pain, YOU DON’T DISS THE DEAD ! That’s not cool, that boy was a baby regardless of where he was from or who he hung with. I feel for her sooo badly & she’s so strong. I’ll be praying for her peace & healing ❤️🙏🏽✨ The fact that he was gunned down less than 5 minutes of talking to his mother & telling her he’s heading home is so heart-aching. I do believe she needed that, something in him told him to call his mom. I really wish they hadn’t taken his life. & for those of you saying he must’ve been a gang member because he was such a big target that’s not true, his big brother was Lil Marc but Marc is his dad’s son not his mothers. Marc had already wrecked havoc in the city before Tooka moved there so THAT’S why he was such a target. They wanted get back for things Lil Marc had did.
@@Katobitch truly sad, he really was a baby & it wasn’t like he was doing something he had no business doing. He was literally just waiting for the bus after winning a wrestling match at school. That hurts so bad 😓💔
Long live tooka matter fact Rest In Peace to every youngster we lost to gun violence this interview is really sad n also eye opening we all got to do better as a culture
My heart just goes out to this women I'm a mother myself so I definitely feel her pain!! She's very strong cause there is no way I could survive that pain of loosing a child God bless her!
I hate people to try to judge other people saying what kinda mother she is or what she should've been! We don't come with instructions on how to raise a child, we do the best we can! You could have been the best mother and your child could still stray away! All you can do is try to raise and teach them the best you can and hope that they carry what you taught them through life! Nobody should ever have to bury their child and this woman baby is gone forever! I can't imagine the pain this Mama feels knowing she will never get to hug or tell her baby she love him!😭😭😭
When I Realized Who Tooka Was I Didn’t Want To Say His Name When I Heard Songs With His Name In It & Its Kind Of Sad That People Have To Hear Their Kids Names In Songs After They Passed Away They Cant Even Grieve In Peace, My Prayers Goes Out To All These Mothers In Chicago, All Over The World Who Lost Their Child

She's trying to keep his innocence, but you can hear the holes and skip overs in her story... sounded like a troubled young man that didn't get a chance to mature and get out
I’m not blaming this mother but sometimes you gotta say fuck I’ll pick up and leave everything behind idc if I’m going to a shelter but we leaving this kinda of neighborhood idk if I gotta ride a bus to another state me and my kids gone cause it’s too much this type of hood you can’t escape
At that point, that’s when u know u just gotta get your son outta there. If she thought he wasn’t going to get into violence at that point of being harassed she was in denial. Knowing that they was coming to his home consistent like that, that alone says it wouldn’t have ended good. Very sad
Everybody on here saying he had to do something...on both sides of this war they all say tooka never killed anyone. He was the first one killed in this war and that's the reason he is always mentioned. RIP to all the souls lost in this genocide. 💔
You can see this beautiful angel the pain of loss and I have never shed a tear for a stranger but the pain she shows it hurts so much that she is a very strong woman

We should hold them accountable and say hey, “we will not listen to you nor support you in anyway if you continue to diss the departed” it seems like a stretch but I know we as people have power to change anything
1,000,000% agree. Fans have the power. I used to listen to it but reciting the lyrics makes me sick.. words have power. I was a fan of Duck and Durk hoping they would make a truce then Duck died and Durk started mocking him and it just f*caked me up.. like bro he was trying so hard to get him and his family out of the hood and y’all kill him like a dog while he’s buying a gift for his son.. no remorse.. mocked him smh fans gotta stop supporting that shit and the tables will turn.
nobody’s gonna say that shit tho be realistic. rap is a form of self expression and it may not be right to diss the dead but this is how most gang members and all that make it out the hood, everyone has a story to tell and we shouldn’t downplay their stories just because it may be too graphic

well she lost 2 of her sons because she failed as mother.
Just because her sons got murdered doesn't make her a bad mother. As children get older, they began to explore the world on their own. They pick up on things and etc. For you to write an ignorant comment like this just shows how you were raised. That's if you want to go there.

@@goldenage6994yeah she’s in massive denial
Because he hid it from her.
It’s been years and this lady still can’t heal… because a whole genre of music won’t let her…
facts
God Got A Plan For Those Who Diss Tooka God Blessed Heal This Woman Touch Her She Needed You Right Now Amen
This Story Give Me Chill Man
True!!!!!
If u lose a kid then u can never heal. Just like losing a good mom or dad.
The term "smoking on Tooka" or really anything mentioning his name in a drill song needs to stop being played......
As a fan of hip hop I am deeply disappointed in the way it has evolved into something evil that has no more morals. No mother should be forced to grieve constantly again and again bc ignorant people want to disrespect her child’s death like it’s a laughing matter. Smh man.
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
The consequences of gang bangin sad to say
God Bless Tooka 🗣🙏🏿
The music is fire tho
But when fbg dose it its all cool nah rip to all but you have to expect the samr energy how you think troy and od and others family feel huh sad
I like how she says “WE had problems with them too” this is a mother who will never let her child stand alone.
This genuinely hurt my soul. 13 years later and she’s constantly reminded of her 15 year old son being killed on the daily. The record station wouldn’t even edit the song but would rather block her. Even person from the side say he wasn’t a street dude. This is a prime example of how being in the hood does you no good. I pray she’s been able to put some distance between that area and herself for her kids sake.
This lady is shaking tremendously talking about her son, I feel for her so bad, I can’t imagine my child at 15 yrs old, a child!!!! Gunned down & being made fun of, still 10yrs later still being disrespected! Her heart is aching, show some remorse, some respect! I’m praying for her Sanity🙏🏽❤️
If it was the other way around he would and have been doing the same thing that is how it goes. He was just on the losing side. Sorry for the mom but her son did this
If y'all think tooka innocent y'all dumb all em got bodies on they head

@@ShyneFourTenFOE my bad u are right and I have apologized.
@@ShyneFourTenFOEThey just be saying anything to argue. I honestly don’t understand why people are bashing single mothers. Regardless if they’re struggling or not, they didn’t abandon their child(ren). People don’t even say shxt to the deadbeats that keep getting women pregnant & abandoning them.
You can’t help but to feel her pain. The Oblock rappers had us all disrespecting Tooka not even knowing the situation. So ma’am if you see this comment I’m personally sorry for singing along to those lyrics. 🙏🏾
Wow me too didn’t even know what Tooka was and it’s definitely painful it can happen to any of us as parents
Me to I just said that in my head..

Not me I was like why they keep saying this dude name and not Evan met him tf wrong with niggas y’all dissing a dude u never seen or met in your entire life and he’s deceased black folks man ignorant a lot of times
I honestly believe she is a great mother. But coming from were I’m from the mothers have no idea how deep their children are in the street. I used to do some of the wildest shit and come home and my mom would ask me “what you do today” and I would simply reply “nothing much” people want to believe their babies are perfect but at the end of the day these kids are dealing with issue outside the home that have nothing to do with their home situation. These streets is wicked and have a hold on our children. It’s not the parent it the environments we come up in
Yeah trus sh!t you talkn bruh. My moms, and neighbors thought I was the perfect angel. The people two block around the corner knew I was bad as h3ll smh.

She had no idea but look up her son's name you'll see him throwing up gang signs 😏
Have anyone came out and told her anything different
My heart is aching , she tried her hardest to get through this interview and be strong , her voice started cracking and I lost it 🥺. Lord please bless and keep her , bring her peace and comfort for the rest of her days 🙏🏾♥️

Just be quiet. He is not a legend. He is an embarrassment to our race.
@@goldenage6994 Did I say he was?
Ten years and you can tell she relives seeing her son dead like it was yesterday.
For the radio station to block and ignore a grieving mother is really disgusting. If they didn’t wanna stop playing the song the VERY LEAST they could have done was edit it. This woman has been through enough and then to turn the radio on and hear that is just….. smfh. This interview was heart wrenching 💔❤️🩹
FUCK WGCI FM RADIO!!!!!!
@Logically Irrational absolutely!!
They have to follow that agenda that’s been set in the city. To keep the war going. Radio stations play a big role in playing the deadly music
?? It's the business.
If she only knew how much she could of sued the radio along with Chief Keef and any other artist who mentioned his name in a disrespectful way simply for trauma and grievances..
You can literally see her praying for the strength...nothing but prayers for this woman.
This was a real deep interview. Im literally watching this on my tv before work. And I just had to pick up my phone to comment. If y’all really wanna know how family and friends feel & cope after these kids are deleted on. This was a very touching and genuine interview.
This is so sad. You can tell that she is still deeply hurt about what happened, as she should be. I think everybody need to apologize to this woman. I know that wouldn't help her much because her son is still gone and they need to stop saying his name. The disrespect has to stop. This is his mama. She can't properly grieve due to his name being brought up in disrespectful ways. This interview was sad and anyone who continues to glorify the disrespect is apart of the problem Period. RIP Tooka 🙏
her son was probably disrespectful
@@justinwatts8997 that could be so, but he gone now. For years at that. That don't have anything to do with his mama now. They need to let her grieve her son properly.
@@justinwatts8997 her son had the best hands in Chicago
This has to be THE BEST interview with Miss Dominique. I can NOW understand why she breaks down EVERY time she tells Tooka's story. She tried to save her son so many times. Unfortunately, she couldn't help him on this particular day. This interview let us know that she wanted the BEST for her son...her children. She didn't condone of any gang related activities whether TOOKA was involved or not.
I'm feeling for this woman on a whole other level. I already felt a form of empathy and sympathy for her as a son of a mother who always worries about every day. I totally agree that they stop using his name.
Someone should make a go fund me for this lady. She deserve to lay back and live in lavish after all the pain she been put through. Some heartbreaking stuff for real. RIP Tooka
Why, she raised a gang member?
I can only imagine the pain she went through and continues to go through because just like most parents, she had no idea what her son was doing in the streets. Parents can be really naïve because it's hard to believe that he wasn't active or affiliated based on the people he was hanging with. Even in her own words, she's alluding to the fact that he was involved in some capacity because he was kicked out of school, she was getting him a mentor, dudes talking shit to him and trying to fight him. There's no way he wasn't active or affiliated. Especially since he has been getting dissed for a decade.
My only question is these teens are running the streets overnight. 1,2,3 am. Maybe they went out after their parents slept. They did not know what their children were up to. He got kicked out of school. I have a 15 year old planning a sweet 16, I do feel for her. Real tragedy all around.
He wasn't on paper, so he couldn't have been too active. If u activevu usually have some contact with police.
@@macamo9991 I’m a Illinois investigator, I can tell you that’s Bullshyt. FBG Duck had no verifiable record either. May he rest in peace now but he was a part of FBG crew. His affiliations were his choice, mother is in serious denial. I do pray she receives peace on earth. He was vicious with his hands but a lot of these teens are punks and rather shoot. My point is he was forced to participate in certain illegal activities in the streets bc of the company he kept. He wasn’t on papers bc his crimes were not verifiable. 😢I see a lot of maiming and death, most of it is caused by 9-16yrs. There’s a 9 yr old kid that I interviewed for murdering a grown man over a damn card game. He’s is already gone, his eyes are dark, no remorse, had no record, he is a product of his environment, which is terrifying unfortunately. He understands life and death he just don’t gaf bc in his words no one gaf about him. More proper parenting is needed, men need to be involved in their children’s lives and women need to be held accountable as well. The more positive activities a child participates in, more love shown is gives him a chance to live a productive life.
Tooka wasnt active, he was just friends bruh... Maybe he smoked some kush or some but i feel like thats about it. I never heard him robbing or shooting someone and someone this famous in chicago always got some info out there or word out there. Hes hated cuz they fw him so much not cuz hes a gangster
Tooka mom got such a positive aura around her. I'm so sorry that she went through all that.
Stay strong momma! So sad. How genuine she is. Her son died in 2011 and he still can’t Rest In Peace. How crazy this is because all these kids grew up together,went to the same schools. And killing each other and laughing about it. The pain is real . None of them have lived over 30. Dead or in jail. The streets that bad. I would move my family or send my child to another state with family. She wants to believe her son was and good boy! My mother didn’t kno everything I was into. And these kids are living and fast life ,haveing to grow up fast because of the environment
And that’s fucked up cuz I see how it changed us and I’m only 23. Our whole neighborhood got wiped out. Not just my block but MOB JARO CITY TW SQUIRT TOWN OBLOCK FRONTSTREET STL EBT. All of em shordies. I alwayed asked myself how did we get to the point where our OPPs is down the street or our so called OPPs. It’s sad man cuz when I ask my grandma about how Chicago was and the black community in general was. She seems like she started getting sad explaining how close and how very put together our community was. They shouldnt of destroy our community and we shouldn’t have let them and it seems like we too far gone to even think logically🤦🏽♂️ sad man I pray not only for my ppl back in Chicago but our community as a whole
How can these people be territorial but not own any land? It's sad and ignorant 😪
Facts!
@@aliboom3244 thats the point how you claim something you don't own. Why are defending something you don't own or have the brains to? Own it! You can rightfully protect what you own. Then turn around mad at the white man. Like she said sad and ignorant. I guarantee if the effort was put in to put your name of it ain't no way in hell the streets would be shot up. It's ridiculous. Then look up to these ppl and they never come back to take care of you.
The statements not meant as an insult it should be inspirational.
@@aliboom3244 I won't apologize for being passionate about our culture getting out of the gutter mentality. In addition there was noting to question. It only appears to be a rant because it's written communication.
A lot of ppl in these neighborhoods Mothers Fathers Grandfathers Grandmothers Great Aunts etc own their homes in Chicago some ppls families have had homes in their family since the first ones moved to Chicago from the south 💯
@@muslim7243 Which one owns the entire neighborhood? I know people are home owners but the children and grandchildren don't own the neighborhood.
From my understanding Tooka was killed because he can fight & he had female’s attention & it happens everyday in the Hoods
Facts.
Lil bro was killed almost 12 years ago,and her PAIN is still fresh.😞😞😞 Stay Strong OG🖤
I lost my son 2 years ago. I feel her pain. But trying to keep a good name for him being in denial about his actions when alive hurts us more than we know as a parent. I'm sorry for her. For myself. But our sons did things. They wouldn't listen to us. The streets took them from us both two times. I pray she finds peace. Me. I'm taking day 4 day cause I know I did my best. But ... my sons actions took him from me. God saved him. Saved me. Idk what from I just know.
Yes to this! I feel the exact same way. Her making it seem like he was an innocent child just trying to go to school. He was clearly into something. We have no idea what our children are into when they leave the house. Everywhere he went they were trying to fight him? That was for a reason. I’m so sorry for your loss as well mama ❤️🙏🏾
God Bless you. Sorry for your loss hun
My Condolences Ashley.
I have a 11 year old Boy and that's 1 of my biggest fear. Him choosing that street life.
Thats why we should keep father their to protect and teach the sons how to be a man the right way.?
Sorry for your loss and what powerful words u just wrote 💜
This was a great interview that a lot of people didnt know they wanted to see. It makes things real.

At any age is never easy, doesn’t matter how old you are
Speaking for myself I can agree to an extent
Watching this as a mother I lost it 🙏🏻 prayers to her, her family and all
Of Chicago. When she said there’s no remorse and how her generation had structure hit different
It’s sad because when Chief Keef came out saying “Tooka” I always thought it was just a strand of weed smh. I hate she going through this 💔

Sometimes a mother don’t know. She know she did her best. But some parents really don’t know what’s going on. A lot of parents are really strict and that’s why the kids begin to be sneaky and seek fun because their “bored” I wish her nothing but peace. But her heart is still broken, I can hear it. Prayers for u lady ❤️
Well said ❤️
Bro was def involved in shit
@@NickWavvy RIGHT he was holding up the rakes in a picture
Esp when they too hard at work tryna provide.
@@chasehim1233 we used to not add our parents on social media plus most of our parents wasnt even fuckin wit the socials back then so its not hard to not know.
This lady is doing a whole lot of projecting and is full of regret. She mentioned a male friend basically warning her about her child's reakless mouth, and she didn't want to hear it. She said her son was a good fighter and if he couldn't beat you he would poke you with the knife he carried. He was often kicked out of school and was signed up for wrestling to control his anger, he gained his name from being known to have an attitude...with all of that going on, i know for a fact her and her grandmother couldn't control him. That's why she said it starts at home. It does and although they did the best they could, her home/community was dysfunctional. May she find peace.
Tooka is dead because of the way he was raised. Just like my two brothers and father. It's hard to change , it's hard to learn , I was a product of my environment just like this women. We bring this kids into the world and we don't give them a chance. How many kids did tooka kill or woulda killed? How many kids is this women gonna lose? I hope tooka losing his life has changed her as a mother.
Facts I find it funny how parents say there kids not gang affiliated or a gang member like mf be knowing they kids bad gang banging we see tooka in hella pic with fbg and pics of him throwing up gd he might not been a official member of a gang but he was definitely gang affiliated
that’s crazy sometimes just shut up let the woman grieve what’s your point commenting this the kid was 15
100% correct, single parent homes lead by these types keep blk children behind the 8 ball.The fact that this lady has a 1 yr old is insane.

Man, I feel for this woman. Bc she may not have really known if he was involved in street shit or not. But the pain that is caused from street shit is overwhelming to the mothers who may not even know wtf is going on. You can literally see and hear her pain.
Tooka wasnt in the streets, they from Lowend and i think they got into it with STL dudes at first. He was hanging around, but not active. I would hang around them too if that was the only other teens in my city, dont no one wanna be the outsider🤣
She’s in denial about her child’s life and behavior but this is sad
Shes not in denial shes jus not going to switch up. She mentioned she used to live the life. Being a “ hood “ mom you jus stick beside them. She knows his lifestyle no way she didn’t. She jus wont say it to give amo if that makes sense
@@della1217 makes perfect sense
Saying he didn’t gang bang when their are pics of him throwing up gang signs is just crazy to me but I guess 🤷🏾♀️
Switching up? SMH people need to hold themselves and children accountable!
This was one of your best cheese
Hearing the pain in her force is heartbreaking. I hope for nothing but the best for her and all the mommas in similar situations
As a mother I’ve cried looking at this. My God.
There’s a part when she’s talking about back in the day when everyone could discipline a child when they were doing something wrong but she also said her boyfriend felt she allowed her kids to say anything, people get defensive when it comes to there kids, women should definitely really consider the man point of view in those instances because the man will recognize things in another man/boy that a woman may miss and vise versa with girls
i mean he was 15
@@beankobe8205 exactly he’s 15 and doesn’t know shit, when a (real)man is present a child should show some respect and listen because a lot men use the woman for whatever purpose and don’t give af about the kid’s, if he speaks up it’s out of concern
@@beankobe8205 Meaning a 15 year old should be correct by an adult and know his place as a child. Thing he didn't and let the grown up streets take care of him.

Listening to this woman makes my heart break! I literally have tears rolling down my face. It’s just so, so, sad and this woman is hurting sooooo much and always will. No one should make fun of someone who was killed, especially kids! But no one at all should diss the dead, the family that is left behind has to deal with that, especially when it is in a song!! So horrible what the mom’s , dad’s, and siblings have to deal with!! People think it’s funny making fun of the people that have gotten killed (.that they hated.). But what do they do when their best friend, or loved one gets killed??? Then they hurt and go through it also!!! So all this killing needs to stop! They kill each other over barely nothing!! Instead of using your hands and fighting it out, they are taking each other’s lives, and that’s forever!!!! It is awful to just look at this year so far, and see how many rappers, and people that are in gangs , and also the innocent victims, that have gotten killed since January!!!! I pray this ends and they find another way to settle differences, instead of killing, and then everyone lives!!!
God please bless this woman and all the other moms and family that have lost their lives to gun violence!
🙏🏿‼️
Exactly my grandma always said let the dead bury the dead 🙏🙏😭
Which is why I don’t see how people praise Vons so much he Was a psychopathic ass serial killer took a wasnt no killer He was a kid hanging around the wrong people
ALL DUE RESPECT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BUT THE KILLING WILL NEVER STOP NOW IM NOT FROM CHICAGO
She's deeply hurt. U can hear it in her voice
Rip Tooka! But his mom Def didn't know what whe was really into. Not hard to get around a strict parent. And I've heard of gang members that had both parents in life. Good upbringing and still got into gangs. I'm sorry Ms Dominique but ya Def didn't know everything tooka was up to.
Fighting shouldn’t lead to his death tho…tooka most likely wasn’t around when guns was a way of protection
u saying that but if u listen to Tooka Mother and if u know u know.he moved around and because he wasn’t affiliated it was all speculation which could of led to him joining or not but a lot of times these gangs press to initiate and Tooka was a fighter,he wasn’t going so they hated that and unfortunately that’s probably what led him to be a Target
Damn I lived through every hip hop generation since the 90s and I must say this Era breaks my spirit. People wonder why we get laughed at and they tell jokes about us at the dinner parties.... we gotta do better not just me but our Generation ....
Exactly! It’s heart breaking how disrespectful we’ve become towards one another. I see why other races want our rhythm but NOT are blues…..
This is the most painful interview I’ve ever seen in my life. I just wanna hug her so bad.
She needs to copyright tookas name and take everything from anyone who uses it
I feel bad that she had to witness her son dying but I really think she knew her son was in them streets heavy. She kept contradicting herself on his up bringing
Yea she was definitely holding stuff back
She knew
Sad to say they all know 💯 the same excuses are always passed around “in our time it was structured women and kids were off limits” that’s the only thing they can say because in reality they know this is what they raised this is what they allowed I’m from Chicago born and raised & parents born and raised who was heavy in that life Ik the good bad and the ugly 💯

Goddamn what took y’all so long to bring this black woman some tissue? No condolences or heartfelt apologies for the loss of her son or nuttin! Y’all sad af, heartless ass interview. Do better Say Cheese!
My heart cries for her. No parent should have to bury a child. I feel she did the best she could to raise her children. Although she wasn’t aware, I think he was probably doing some things behind her back. He was targeted too much to have been innocent.
Loosing a child myself I don’t think I will ever get over it. I feel her pain.
I’m sorry. May God always comfort and watch over you and your family. ♥️🙏🏾
I'm sorry for your loss.
I can't imagine it. I lost both of my parents, and even as an adult, I hurt everyday dealing with it. Losing one of my children? I don't think I'd recover.

You Can See The Pain In Tooka Moms Eyes
This is a powerful interview. Thank you for your time. And showing and telling us this.
Crazy how parents who go to work and try to provide don’t know who their kids really are in the streets. Shorty was out here throwing up the rakes and everybody in the streets knew who he was but she didn’t.
This interview hit different😭. Prayers to her💗 prayers to all the single mothers that have to play both parts that plays a big part on why most those boys grow and up and end up in the streets.
♥️💌
Omg to see her shaking & fighting back tears hurts to the core fr. I’ve been amongst the ignorant people to rap along with the lyrics of “smoking on tooka” & I’m so sorry for that fr I didn’t know any better & I should’ve because my mother has lost a child as well but not to gun violence. My brother was just shot 6x 2 days ago in Detroit but luckily he’s still here on earth. I will NEVER speak of Tooka’s name in a negative way EVER AGAIN ! This mother is in pain, YOU DON’T DISS THE DEAD ! That’s not cool, that boy was a baby regardless of where he was from or who he hung with. I feel for her sooo badly & she’s so strong. I’ll be praying for her peace & healing ❤️🙏🏽✨ The fact that he was gunned down less than 5 minutes of talking to his mother & telling her he’s heading home is so heart-aching. I do believe she needed that, something in him told him to call his mom. I really wish they hadn’t taken his life.
& for those of you saying he must’ve been a gang member because he was such a big target that’s not true, his big brother was Lil Marc but Marc is his dad’s son not his mothers. Marc had already wrecked havoc in the city before Tooka moved there so THAT’S why he was such a target. They wanted get back for things Lil Marc had did.
Black mother's gotta step their game up, no one instills black pride, just black ratchetness
Thank you for breaking it down I didn’t know about Marc 🥺

I big up this message fr fr
My heart just goes out to this women I'm a mother myself so I definitely feel her pain!! She's very strong cause there is no way I could survive that pain of loosing a child God bless her!
I can not stop crying. So sad. These young people are not thinking about the mothers that are left behind to deal with all this hurt. RIP Tooka
I hate people to try to judge other people saying what kinda mother she is or what she should've been! We don't come with instructions on how to raise a child, we do the best we can! You could have been the best mother and your child could still stray away! All you can do is try to raise and teach them the best you can and hope that they carry what you taught them through life! Nobody should ever have to bury their child and this woman baby is gone forever! I can't imagine the pain this Mama feels knowing she will never get to hug or tell her baby she love him!😭😭😭
Excuses
When I Realized Who Tooka Was I Didn’t Want To Say His Name When I Heard Songs With His Name In It & Its Kind Of Sad That People Have To Hear Their Kids Names In Songs After They Passed Away They Cant Even Grieve In Peace, My Prayers Goes Out To All These Mothers In Chicago, All Over The World Who Lost Their Child

I think it’s one of those cases where she didn’t know that her son was a menace … she’s innocent smh we don’t know EVERYTHING our kids do!!!!! Prayers to mom and the family 🥺😢
SHE SEE NOW!
Tooka wasn't on shit ain't did nun to nobody y'all fans just b talking
@@youcandie5748 they didn't watch the whole interview or something smh
He was definitely in them streets
@@MultiBigbelly tooka ain't do shit to nobody yo outta town axx can tell how you said in Dem streets str8 thunkie
She’s a strong women
She's trying to keep his innocence, but you can hear the holes and skip overs in her story... sounded like a troubled young man that didn't get a chance to mature and get out
Nigga you sound like the police wit dem terms like “holes in the story” and I’m from da raq and tooka wasn’t a “troubled” kid
@@montana10155 why does my opinion have to be police shit...I don't giva fuck where you from, it's ok to disagree
@@montana10155 so what was he then
@@vettathegreat5787 from what I’m seeing and hearing he was a target from his oldest brother on his father side Past (that killed ppl)
@@montana10155 clown. Even cantgetrite said oblock know why they hate tooka. Come on dawg. U can’t be frm da raq.
Keeping you in my prayers M’am. This is nothing to joke about, really brought tears to my eyes, watching you express your pain. ❤️
I’m not blaming this mother but sometimes you gotta say fuck I’ll pick up and leave everything behind idc if I’m going to a shelter but we leaving this kinda of neighborhood idk if I gotta ride a bus to another state me and my kids gone cause it’s too much this type of hood you can’t escape
At that point, that’s when u know u just gotta get your son outta there. If she thought he wasn’t going to get into violence at that point of being harassed she was in denial. Knowing that they was coming to his home consistent like that, that alone says it wouldn’t have ended good. Very sad
Billionaire black was just talking about this interview…it is too personal 👌🏾with no real comfort for her at all
Everybody on here saying he had to do something...on both sides of this war they all say tooka never killed anyone. He was the first one killed in this war and that's the reason he is always mentioned. RIP to all the souls lost in this genocide. 💔
She should trademark ™️ his name and get a bag off of it because they are not gonna stop putting his name in songs
Good point !
Very intelligent idea 💡
Exactly. It should be a straind of the best weed.
It’s hard to trade mark a name it probably already done and it’s not cheap
Probably working on that! She needs to.
You can see this beautiful angel the pain of loss and I have never shed a tear for a stranger but the pain she shows it hurts so much that she is a very strong woman
Y'all please show this wonderful lady / Mother some genuine love from within y'all she such a great beautiful woman, shes hurting so bad on the inside so bad 🥺😥🕊️🌎🙏 we love 💕 you...
