What Nobody Told You About Pop Smoke

The rap world was devastated by the untimely passing of Pop Smoke, who was gunned down in a home invasion and robbery in February 2020. The up-and-coming artist had only just begun his career, topping the charts with a pioneering sound before his life was cut short. According to TMZ, the incident that took Pop Smoke's life occurred following a house party in the Hollywood Hills. At around 4:30 a.m., at least four masked men reportedly broke in, fired multiple shots, and fatally injured the rapper. The attack may have come about thanks to information on social media. According to TMZ, the 20-year-old was possibly renting a house - the same house that was invaded - from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Teddi Mellencamp, the daughter of John Mellencamp. Prior to his death, Pop Smoke posted a location-tagged Instagram Story. He also posted several photos where he flexed his Louis Vuitton luggage while his friend Mike Dee held wads of cash. TMZ reported that the posts may have accidentally revealed the address of the property, making him a target for attack.
