Rapper Foolio survived three near-fatal shootings in the past four years before being fatally shot on his 26th birthday.
Rapper Foolio was involved in at least three shootings before his untimely death on his 26th birthday.
The Jacksonville-based hitmaker, who went by the name Julio Foolio but whose real name is Charles Jones, was pronounced dead at the scene in the early hours of Sunday morning, June 23.
Three other people were injured in the incident and taken to local hospitals.
It wasn’t the List of Dead Oops hitmaker’s first brush with death.
In July 2020, he was shot while in Houston, Texas. He ended up in hospital and filmed a video live from his bed, telling fans: “An ******* shot me, but didn’t kill me.”
Just a year later in 2021, the star was injured after getting out of his vehicle in Jacksonville, Florida.
He said he got “grazed in the leg” at the time, and admitted: “I shot back in self-defence. My gun is registered. If I did something illegal the police would put me in jail.”
Foolio claimed he was shot at “100 times” during the 2021 incident. Police said Foolio reported multiple shots in the area, explaining to officers that he took two of his own guns and returned fire on the suspects, who were travelling in a “dark-coloured truck or SUV”.
In October 2023, Foolio was shot again, suffering a serious gunshot wound and breaking multiple bones in his left foot after he was targeted by assailants in Florida.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said at the time: “It appears that the suspect or suspects were waiting for the victim and ambushed him.”
Sadly, Fookio was killed on June 23, 2024, after being fatally shot at his birthday celebration.
Also, in February 2019, Foolio’s little brother Adrian Dennard Gainer Jr, who went by the name Bibby, was shot and killed at the age of just 16 at an apartment complex in the Moncrief area.
Bibby’s mum Elizabeth Gainer told an assembled crowd after his death: “I am going to rock the hell out of Duval County for my baby. Whoever had anything to do with this shooting, you hurt the wrong baby. He was loved and he loved us. He had a mother and a father, grandparents, aunts. He was no thug and he is no gangster!”
Now Foolio’s girlfriend has paid tribute to him amid his own tragic death, writing online: “Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji].”
One police officer on the scene told WALA Now: “What we have learned […] is that two cars were shot at, four people were shot in total as a result of this. Three of them were transported to hospitals and one was pronounced deceased here on the scene.
“We are working to learn what led up to the shooting, motive… As far as the people who are at local hospitals, we are working to get an update on their condition.”

Tips to Elevate Your Lifestyle
Being a pretty girl is about more than just your appearance—it’s about confidence, self-care, and the way you carry yourself. Here are 10 simple tips to help you look and feel your best.
1. Have Something Meaningful to Do
Build a career, learn a skill, go into tech, start a business, or get a job. Having your own source of income helps you maintain the lifestyle you want while building independence and confidence.
2. Don’t Be Too Available
Value your time. Stay busy with your goals and priorities. When you’re focused on your own growth, you naturally become less available for unnecessary distractions.
3. Take Care of Your Skin
Healthy, glowing skin comes from consistency. Cleanse, moisturize, wear sunscreen, and drink plenty of water.
4. Maintain Fresh Breath
Good oral hygiene is essential. Brush, floss, use mouthwash if needed, and keep your breath fresh throughout the day.
5. Dress Well
Wear clean, well-fitting clothes that suit your personality and make you feel confident.
6. Speak Well, but Don’t Talk Too Much
Communicate with confidence and respect. Listen more than you speak, and let your words add value to conversations.
7. Always Smell Nice
Never neglect your hygiene. Shower regularly, wear deodorant, and use a pleasant fragrance so you’re always fresh and confident.
8. Be Productive With Your Time
Invest your time in learning, working, reading, exercising, or building your future instead of wasting it on things that don’t add value.
9. Stay True to Yourself
Be honest and authentic. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not, and never build relationships on lies.
10. Smile and Stay Well-Groomed
A genuine smile is beautiful. Keep your hair neat, your nails clean, and always present yourself with confidence and grace.
Final Thought:
The prettiest girls aren’t just admired for how they look—they’re remembered for their confidence, discipline, kindness, and the value they bring to every room they enter.
The Girl I Once Imagined
There was a time when I imagined a girl who lived life on her own terms. She wasn’t lucky—she was disciplined. She wasn’t waiting for opportunities—she created them. She traveled the world, worked from beautiful places, and built a life she was proud of.
One day, I realized something powerful.
That girl could be me.
Success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of small, consistent actions repeated every day. If you dream of becoming successful, financially independent, and living a life of freedom, here are a few habits that can help you get there.
1. Get a Skill
Learn something valuable that people are willing to pay for. It could be tech, writing, design, marketing, content creation, or any skill that solves problems.
2. Work Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
Motivation comes and goes, but discipline keeps you moving. Show up every day, even when it’s hard.
3. Keep Learning
Read books, take online courses, and learn from people who inspire you. Growth never stops.
4. Protect Your Time
Avoid distractions and spend less time on things that don’t move you closer to your goals.
5. Save and Invest
Don’t spend everything you earn. Build good financial habits and make your money work for you.
6. Take Care of Yourself
Success is more enjoyable when you’re healthy. Eat well, exercise, rest, and take care of your mental health.
7. Believe in Yourself
You don’t have to be perfect to start. Be brave enough to begin, keep learning, and trust the process.
Final Thoughts
The girl I once imagined isn’t defined by luxury alone. She’s defined by her courage, consistency, and determination. She works hard, travels freely, keeps growing, and inspires others by simply living the life she once prayed for.
Remember, the life you dream about starts with the choices you make today. Be patient, stay focused,
