NY Rapper Pop Smoke was killed during a home invasion early Wednesday morning around 4:30 AM.
Bashar Barakah Jackson, 20, reportedly was at his Hollywood Hills, CA home around 4:30 a.m. when two unidentifiable men broke in and fired shots.
Pop Smoke was rushed to the hospital and when arrived, pronounced dead. The suspects fled on foot and haven’t been found.
The rapper had a huge 2019 summer led by his biggest single “Welcome to the Party.” We heard remixes from Nicki Minaj and French Montana. The new rapper was just getting started and even appeared with Travis Scott on his latest Gatti record.
We send prayers to his loved ones.
Rest in Peace.
