Just a few weeks after the deaths of XXXTENTACION and Jimmy Wopo, another rapper has been killed in a shooting.
Toronto’s Smoke Dawg was shot and killed in his hometown on Saturday (June 30) in a shooting that took the life of another man and seriously injured a woman. According to The Star, police were still working on confirming the identities of the slain men, but multiple Toronto artists have confirmed one of them was Smoke on social media.
“Smokey is gone, may our prayers follow him to heaven,” fellow artist Mustafa The Poet tweeted on Saturday.
CP24 reports the shooting occurred in Toronto’s Entertainment District. Shots were fired outside Cube Nightclub, with bullets striking two men and one woman. All three were taken to a local trauma center where the men succumbed to their injuries.
Smoke first gained wider recognition in 2015 for his collaboration “Still” with Mo-G. The song racked up 2.4 million views on YouTube and 1.37 million streams on SoundCloud. More recently, his track “Trap” House earned 3.4 million views on YouTube and sparked a remix featuring French Montana.
Drake was among those mourning the loss of Smoke, sharing some thoughts on his death in an Instagram post.
“All these gifts and inner lights being extinguished lately is devastating,” he wrote. “I wish peace would wash over our city. So much talent and so many stories we never get to see play out. Rest up Smoke.”
HipHopDX expresses our condolences to the family and friends of Smoke Dawg at this difficult time.

How does this happen in the safest city in the world? Everyone wants to be american even trying to copy our ghetto drug dealing ways:/? We are so backwards in this world. Let this world end already.
Drug dealing and violence isn’t an American thing. Mad ignorance on your part, now that’s an American thing.
Right. So gun violence involved in Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop itself and the largest market for drugs in the world are not American? You are an ignorant fool.
WRONG
Oh. Ok. Wrong. Hahahaha. The two biggest rap icon shows of all time (Big and Pac) died how’s and where? Where doesn’t hip-hop come from l, and then culture, clothing, slang etc? All the videogames, movies, TV show some etc? Wrong? You are a fucking idiotic child. Dumbass. The largest market for drugs on earth is the U.S.. the most dangerous drug dealers are Mexican cartels, who only exist to FEED THE AMERICAN MARKET. what country produced, directed and put out “the wire” “Scarface?” Where was crack distribution and sales invented? Or meth? How many people are in jail for drug trafficking in countries? None more than the U.S.. SO YES, NUMBERS AND FACTS DON’T LIE, IT IS A U.S. AMERICAN THING!! Dumbass
Cool….. So….. Leave
You sound mad. Typing in all caps and shit. Save all this female shit for your diary. You are not changing anyone’s mind or spreading knowledge. All you are doing is feeding that pathetic ego into thinking you told someone off online.
LOL !!! And the world wonders why the US gets shitted on all the time – most residents are just flat out stupid and let the tv do their thinking
Who?
Plenty of information in the article dilweed for you not to let your IGNORANCE show
Wack rappers dropping like flys/ leaving all you tight clothes wearing mumble rappers with tears in your eyes/fuck all this beef you emoji ass rappers need to just get up all in your girls thighs/leave all the killing and shooting down to the thug guys…..
Someone died ima post a few wack bars for “Real Hip Hop”…
For real. Being a “hip hop head” is the most embarrasing thing you could be.
Says the guy in a hip hop website
It’s called knowledge u little hoe. Go and play with your barbies,suck you’re mamas titties and pop some pills to help you get through it yong’un.
Nothing Good Comes From Rapping About Guns Drugs Trap Houses It all seems to lead to DEATH
Drakes homies getting dropped one by one cus they a bunch of fuccin lames.
Every rapper’s new mixtape should be titled “AND” standing for another nigguh dead
LOL!!!
Lots of ignorance in these posts hiding cowardly behind fake names. Never listened to this rapper at all but no real hip hop head laughs at a man’s death. DX needs to introduce fb log in or something
You mean take that snow nap or ice nap? Rep that life? This queer lived in a city that has less homicides a year than one neighborhood in Chicago does. It’s the second most populous city in their country. What a total clown. Ain’t no dirt naps. Total cosplay… seriously, all Canadians are doing Hip-Hop Cosplay. You don’t have any art forms or music of your own, eh?
It’s actually the most populous city in the country, by quite a bit. Bigger than any American city other than NY or LA. Averaging less than 70 homicides a year is actually something to brag about for a city with a population in the multi-millions. Oh, and It’s also been 85-95 degrees pretty much every day for the last few weeks.
And I fucked your mommy and made your bitch-ass a little brother. I say this just as respectfully.
The thing they failed to mention here is that Smoke Dawg actually died when a Canadian Mountie’s Moose got loose and fucked him in the bung bung til he died!!! RIP DAWG, YOU GOT SMOKED BY A MOOSE PEE PEE, YA CRAZY CANUCK, EH!!!
12 year old coward. Go lay down good lol
If he was living what he rapped about he met the fate of one living that life. Death or jail…
Right. He saw some shit in TV and heard about it… sorry, aboot it, then tried to emulate it. It sounded cool. It’s what Frake, the Migos and Gucci are always taking aboot. Next thing you know, some other cosplay, naruto run, Gaynadians pull up in a steer drawn carriage and musket that ass… everyone involved is wearing a turtleneck. Such a tragedy. It’s a Charles Dickens Christmas…
Dude, best comment ever. Seriously. No joke. I’m dying over here…
this dawg got smoked
Toronto has become very violent….
For sure. Those 5 homicides a year in a city that has a population of over a million… it’s out of control. Sarcasm. You fucking queer!!
You sound gay
In 2017 there were 537 shooting victims and 61 deaths of which 31 were shot. Where did you get 5 from? Wait I’ll guess you made it up.

Let me guess: he was a promising rapper
So when u a rapper you might leave your hometown
Dude was just 22. You guys on here are all fucked up. Somebody died, you all think it’s funny to troll and shit. I never heard of this kid but it doesn’t mean his life is less valuable than your favorite rapper. Fuck everyone on here who has a negative thing to say about this dude right now, imagine that was somebody close to you who was killed at such a young age. Hhdx deletes valid posts all the time but allows this despicable shit to continue, it’s sickening. I love trolling once in a while, but now is not the time. A life was lost, go fuck yourselves.
The guy from Don’t be a Menace is Loc Dawg
The thing they faile to mention here is that Smoke Dawg actually died when a Canadian Mountie’s Moose got loose and fucked him in the bung bung til he died!!! RIP DAWG, YOU GOT SMOKED BY A MOOSE PEE PEE, EH!!!
I thought HHDX said Drake’s security was undefeated. Lot of Drake Associates getting shot up.
I’m sorry but not many of these dead rappers made it to heaven. Facts.
