TMZ is reporting that Pop Smoke, who was an up and coming rapper was at his home when two men in masks broke into his home.
The men fired guns which hit and critically wounded the rapper. They fled on foot while he was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai hospital in West Hollywood where he died.
The culprits have neither been identified nor arrested.
Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj shared a cryptic post while mourning his death. She shared a picture of the late rapper alongside the caption: “The Bible tells us that jealousy is as cruel as the grave. Unbelievable. Rest in Peace, Pop.”
