Pop Smoke was shot and killed at a Hollywood Hills home on Wednesday morning (February 19). The blossoming Brooklyn rapper was only 20 years old at the time of the shooting and had just begun to hit his stride as an artist.
Police say two men wearing hoodies and masks broke into the home around 4:30 a.m. local time and fatally shot Pop Smoke. Prior to the incident, there’d been a party at the house, but it’s unclear if Pop Smoke knew his attackers.
He’d shared his location on his Instagram Stories hours before the shooting took place.
Authorities haven’t located any suspects yet. The investigation is ongoing.
Naturally, social media has exploded with reactions to Pop Smoke’s tragic death.

Redman, The Game, Juicy J, Chance The Rapper, YBN Cordae, Freddie Gibbs and Lupe Fiasco are just a sliver of his peers paying tribute to the late rapper.
Check out some of the reactions below.
Game tweeted that live from the tattoo parlor.. had 2 get the pop smoke tat his dick riding knoww no bounds
So now it’s dickriding to mourn someone and pay your respects??? Grow the fuck up pussy. Still mad momma didn’t hug u enough? RIP Smoke
to get the tattoo IS dickriding, thats what L said. its not the fact that game would pay his respect. getting a tat is being extra and un-necessary, and thats the silly shit game does, like his recent kobe tat. actually LISTEN, son. don’t be so quit to knee jerk react over the goddamn internet, you salty ass nigga. lol
Actually people have they own ways of dealing with the mourning process and how they show respect. Who knew that you or the guy who wrote the original comment set the standard for how people should mourn someone. So what if he got a tat of Kobe?He obviously respected that nigga enough to ink his skin with with a picture of Kobe. Now sit the fuck back down kid.
Yo, u hear Games new song? The first verse is FIRE! It’s goes: “Yo it’s Game, produced by ya boy Dre, he came from NWA, I’m just like Pac from west coast, but flow Biggie east coast, Snoop and the Pound was chillin, Nippsey was in the buildin, Jayz even there, yo Em, give us the snare, Kendrick flow nigga, Nas is a dude for here! “. Hahahahaha
Game is a huge dick rider lol. He can’t make a single without name dropping a dozen times haha. Dude talks more about dead rappers than his own murdered family.
smh… gang life, glorify it then it’s RIP. You don’t need to be in a gang to be cool, all that gang nonsense lands you in two places. RIP, gone way to soon.
This shit happens when the culture is constantly fucking glorifying and championing violence.
HIP HOP CULTURE IS TO BLAME HERE!
RIP. But in reference to the twitter years, do you really have to hold the phone to your face to prove to the world that you’re shedding tears? Usually, if I’m about to cry, the last thing I’m thinking about is reaching for my phone to show the world that I’m crying and genuine. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but RIP
Big Facts…
Clout chasing
Prob Trumps fault!!!!
Now, everybody’s gonna be calling him a legend when he was only known for one song, stealing a rental and arguing with a photographer on Twitter. RIP tho.
keep on flexin for the gram
The Game… Will he get another tattoo hahah? Game wishes someone would have shot him in his prime, because he wanted to die a martyr… Instead he’s just gonna die being the guy who name drops 165 times on his final album, and acts like a teenage hoodrat whole raising his kids.
I see the keyboard warriors have arrived to cry about their envy for Game lol
Not envy! Just making fun of him. Game talks more about Dre and Pac than Dre and Pac talked about Dre and Pac hahaba
Why is everybody acting surprised ? He was a gang banger. That’s what gang bangers do. They kill each other.
