After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts. To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus. #SIP #PnbRock 🕊

Rest In Peace
Many people are upset and posting on social media that it is his girlfriend, Stephanie’s fault. Some are even trying to say that she set him up. It’s very ill-mannered to blame her for something so tragic. She is the mother of his child, and someone that loved him. She’s grieving and people aren’t letting her. She, along with his family, his children, his friends, and his fans, lost a great artist and person.
