The young american rapper Pop Smoke was killed in the house during what, at the moment, is defined by the police as a robbery attempt. The murder took place in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, shortly before dawn. Around 4.30 am two men, hooded and masked, entered the dwelling of the singer, they have fired a series of shots, and then ran to the foot without leaving a trace. Pop Smoke is been rescued and rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in West Hollywood, where he died shortly after.

The emerging artist, whose real name was Bashar Jackson , he was 20 years old. In July he published his first songs. One of his songs, Welcome to the Party, out in April, had become a success, remixed by artists such as the singer, Nicki Minaj , who commented on Instagram the news of the death of the young rapper with a phrase which perhaps indicates a relationship between Pop and his murderers: “The Bible teaches us that jealousy is cruel as the grave. Amazing, rest in peace, Pop.”
