The suspects fled the house on foot
TMZ also assures that there was a party or gathering of some kind at night at the scene of the murder. Bashar Barakah Jackson, his real name, was originally from New York, and his second album, “Meet the Woo, Vol. 2,” had been released this month.
In an interview with XXL magazine published on February 7, Pop Smoke adhered to the “cliché” that when an African-American child grows up in the ghetto in the United States, he only has three options: play basketball, rap, or sell drugs.
“I did all three and it was good in all of them. Rapping is just another step in my life. There is no way of knowing what I will do after this, ”said the rapper.
Rap figures like 50 Cent or Nicki Minaj lamented on the social networks the murder of Pop Smoke.
“There is no success without jealousy, betrayal comes from those who are close. Rest in peace, ”50 Cent wrote on Twitter, enigmatically.
Fans regret the news
The news caused shock in the official Instagram account of TMZ, with more than 200 thousand reactions and 10 thousand comments.
“Two people who probably knew him. No one kills us more than us, “” This is very sad, “” Why do rappers die so young all the time? “,” I hate 2020, “” Hell, I was playing their music all day yesterday. This is really screwed. ”
Some users couldn’t believe Pop Smoke’s unfortunate death: “No way,” “Oh my God, I can’t believe this,” “Is it fake?”
Although there were those who commented that they did not know the rapper, they even confused him: “Mention one of Pop Smoke’s songs”, “Without disrespecting … but who? I never heard it, I don’t hear that shit .. of music ”,“ I thought it was Tyga at the beginning, then 50 Cent, I was confused ”,“ Who is he? I’m dying of laughter, what’s up with these names, next week rapper Dildo dies with a shot in the face, haha. ”
