So, it is okay to use the police now?

Hmmmmmm

Everyone still has eyes on Human Trafficking scandal going down.. Just bc FBI or CIA always knew who the killer was & did nada. Now, look over here people! (Who's falling for the distractions?)

I would be willing to bet that the 5 people arrested belong to the BLM cult.

Who?

Yeah now everyone likes the cops 🙄

_riakilimos woo

cnn didn't make big news about these kids. Do BlackLivesMatter? Not really... Only BlackVotersMatter

Tbh I never even new who he has until I heard of his death

🙏🏻 THANK GOD!!!

What happened to no snitching 🤣🤣

White supremacists I assume.

not sure what happened but jealousy n envy are terrible these days.

So many black rappers getting killed in LA. Might I suggest, not going to LA or leaving, perhaps.

Black lives matter crowd right now 🤡

But I thought taking down the statues took care of all this?

woo

Just curious, were the suspects white, brown or black?

Leadrwayy

Still have no clue who he is or was

I bet they are ALL BLACK!

Pop smoke was only 20 young enough to be your lil brother

fonzfranc Wow they found them. Took them long enough.!

mikebroda so much drama. popsmoke

What color were they

More systemic racism holding the rap game down. Don't focus on the real problem, you won't get real solutions.

Why are you not showing photo and names of the 3 adults? Hmmm?

The same people with the racist replies pretty prove that racism definitely exists.

mattyglesias wants CNN to stop CancelCulture. Stop cancelling PopSmoke. Stop cancelling these 'Five people, two of them' juvenile who kilt PopSmoke. Stop it. Stop CancelCulture now.

I HEARD THE NICKY BLIXY KILLING IS RELATED BUT HOW DID CRUSTY BROOKLYN KIDS REACH THAT FAR TO LA LIKE THAT THEY SAYING THEIR RIVALS WERE TAUNTING THEM WHEN THEY DIED, BUT IS THAT MOTIVE?

IT CAN BE A FEW THINGS: HIS OWN CRIP SET DID HIM IN, THE RIVAL NICKY BLIXY GANG THEY WERE BEEFING WITH, THE ARMENIAN MOBSTER HE BORROWED THAT CAR FROM.... BUT WHO EVER IT WAS KNEW HE WAS THERE.... BUT WE JUST DONT KNOW...

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Pretty hard to believe that not one of the shooters were a cop ✊

There was a rapper named pop smoke?

Five heroes.

Police arrested them? I thought they were defunded?

They need to smoke the people that killed pop smoke 😪

iambundleofjess

Were black people the assailants? If so, that’s why no one likes black people. No one likes white people for the same reason. White and black people both suck and commit most of the worlds crimes.

Rip

These rappers get the money and fame and still want to play the role of gangster...I dont get it

Hope they get what they deserve life!

about time

WHITE_COLOMBIAN

rip Poop Smoker

More black on black crime ? Damn that systematic racism....

RIP

I'm guessing 3 adult cops and 2 juvenile cops are to blame...

It’s about time.

Racism is strong in these replies.

Of who now?

about damn time

I guess someone popped his smoke

Most if not all rappers bang on about violence and guns etc. I have no sympathy for any of them if they’re killed by what they seem to glorify.

Kliche5x What is wrong with y’all?

Pif, paf, poof, abra and cadabra?

Senseless violence orchestrated by 5 idiots and for what? Throw away the key.

Balck lives matter ?

Pop smoke? Jesus, how big of a douche bag do you have to be to come up with that ridiculous name?

Not pop smoke. I'm going to put myself out on a limb right now, but let me guess it was African Americans who killed himbecause he disrespected them and one of his rap songs lol

Just picked up a song off iTunes-now he gone. just why

Blacks take black lives it doesn’t matter that much to a black killer & there’s plenty of em!

who?

Black on black crime is community service.

Damn. I forgot he died

There’s no good rap because all the good rappers are getting shot. Why are all these rappers going out unarmed and unmanned? Did you see T.I.’s whip with all the compartments? And that was just Cincinnati. Yeah Smoke gets shot but that Tekashi dude is still around. He’s protected

Why do hip/hop performers get murdered so often? Boy bands never had this problem List of Hip Hop murders just increased to 45

Bet they are all young black males.

Sad!

Pop goes the rapper.

RIP king!

Pop got smoked !!

RIP POP SMOKE💫💔

STOP KILLING RAPPERS PLEASE

RIP Pop Smoke

Wait, is that the guy Biden tangled with as a lifeguard

And if those suspects are black nobody will really care.

Skin colors of all involved please!!

And again no mention of race. I assume that means black ppl killed him.

Pop smoke is his birth name ?

good! assholes

Rip woo

Must be black otherwise we would have already seen mugshots and the media would be alllllllllllll over it with 'WHITE MAN KILLS BLACK MAN'

Pop Smoked.

Are they black? You didn't say. I know you would have said white if they were white. Just asking.

Never heard of “ pop smoke”

Good
