Rapper Pop Smoke dies shot

Pop Smoke, real name Bashar Jackson, has been shot dead on Wednesday, February 19 at his home in Hollywood Hills (Los Angeles). The rapper was at home when, according to the ‘Los Angeles Times’, two masked people broke into his house at 5 in the morning and shot him. According to ‘TMZ’, the security camera shows at least four men.

The musician was transferred to a Los Angeles Hospital where he was pronounced dead within a few hours of his arrival. He was only 20 years old and a record in the market, ‘Meet the Whoo’, with hits like ‘Welcome to the party’ that have boosted his popularity and versioned Nicky Minaj and Skepta.

Although no hypothesis for his murder is ruled out, the first investigations point to theft since Pop Smoke posted images on his Instagram profile with lots of money and his address (accidentally). The images were published on Tuesday at 8 p.m., hours before the assault.

This is a new casualty by murder in the American music industry after those of Nipsey Hussle and XXXTENTATION.

Pop Smoke was accused of stealing a Rolls Royce last January that was rented to record a video clip and drove with him from Los Angeles to New York without permission.
