's death wasn't a robbery gone wrong ... it was a targeted hit ... and that conclusion is supported by surveillance video.
People who have seen the surveillance footage from outside the Hollywood Hills home where Pop was killed Wednesday morning tell us ... you see 4 men approach the home at around 4:30 AM and sneak around back. A couple minutes pass before 3 of the 4 walk back up the side of the home to the front. The 4th apparently walked in the backdoor but no camera was trained on it. The next time you see the man, he exits through the front door of the house.
As we reported, multiple shots were fired inside the home and they only struck Pop Smoke, who was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where heAt first, it seemed like it might have been a robbery because the rapper posted a photo earlier in the day of a bunch of gifts ... one of which had his home address emblazoned on it. He also posted another pic hours before the shooting of himself and a friend in a car .. the friend is holding an enormous amount of cash.
But, here's the thing. The folks who have seen the surveillance video tell us the person inside the house -- presumably the shooter -- did not carry anything out. Given that he shot someone, it's doubtful he would take the time to stuff items in his pocket.
bel_is_A_ninja Pop smoke got pop gg
bel_is_A_ninja Ya think. Gang related for sure. WAKE UP PEOPLE. WE GOT TO DO BETTER. WHEN WILL THESE YOUNG KNUCKLE HEADS REALIZE REPPING A COLOR, A BLOCK OR HOOD IS IDIOTIC.
Was his real name Peter?
No kidding!! Keep glorifying ghetto gang culture and this is you get. Time to end this bull$ht!
Well...that was plainly obvious from the start!!!
No shit. That's what I said when I first read it back when they were still calling it a 'home invasion'. Bitch please, they were after one person. Do better with your reporting next time.
Well....
Well, no kidding!
Too bad
🙏🙏🙏🙏
It doesn't change the fact that Ur operators r the gang members, targetin young artiste to steal, kill N tag gangsters. Y'all can't deny workin in hand with the cops N low staff in the hospital to take Ur shots 📷 🔫 . TMZ, operators are the gang members N not the black artiste
We already know this your kinda late 😂
No way..........
I'm not surprise whatsoever
Sad shit smh
I’m shocked lol
Couldn’t u post a more favorable picture of POPSMOKE10 ? Ur so disrespectful 🙄
Inside job, how did they have access to the gated community? One the men in surveillance looks into the camera. Someone will crack. The first 48 hours..God will reveal.
Fans might not know who Pop Smoke is but DEA does
Sad. I am an old white lady; don't understand the rap...am sad that a LIFE ended. Ended, am sure because of a misunderstanding. RIP Pop Smoke.
Well, someone popped some smoke 💨🤷🏻♀️🤣
💔
Y’all thought it was robbery?
he was literally a gangster before the fame, its kinda obvious some jealous opp put money on his head
He looks like a beaver
Why in every pic he has the same stupid look with his teeth? Rip but 🤡
AaronLafond murdered Abigail Williams and Liberty German AbbyandLibby DelphiMurders
You don't say 🤯
still doesn't change the fact that he got smoked
They smoked him
Crippin’
What if that post was a call for help lo key
Shocker. 🙄
Welp, it wasn’t his dentist!
What if he was trying to tell y'all something by posting it. Maybe already going bad if only an hour before killed.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Didn’t hear you the first 3 times
Yeah. His own prolly
It’s pretty obvious
Clearing up the statement before the facts. Just like the tv show “First 48 hours”. Not gang related, not home invasion, its murder. The faces on surveillance they will get caught. God will reveal. He didn’t deserve this.
'We' knew that........
STOP THE KILLING! Love someone, hug someone, do a good deed, feed a homeless person, or just smile a stranger.
🥺
lookner Pop smoke got popped.
Yuppp we knew it was a setup & we also might know who set it up
The hood already has their location, y'all are late.
lookner Yeah, no shit.
It'd be nice if you could've waited until his family was informed
lookner What a shocker there.
lookner
Duh.
No fuckin shit
Yes we know rappers and violence go hand in hand. Can you post something else already.
Rest in Woo🙏
When it comes to you about to make it out & your so-called homies won't allow it. Our ppl. rather bury us then to let us be successful, it's very sad!
'Pop Smoked'
What’s with all these young rappers getting killed ? Not such a great profession when your life is on the line before you turn 21
Shocker. RIP
Must be slow for you guys today
This is not news, we already concluded that it was a targeted attack. I honestly feel like you guys should allow this man's family to bury him I peace. You're like vultures picking at a corpse ( forgive that imagery) .
Nigga was 20 years old and already had dark enemies.
You have to keep your circle very very small. RIP
Rip 💔🙏🏼
AGAIN WITH INSIDE INFO FROM ANOTHER SLAIN RAPPER. AGAIN. WE'RE NOT STUPID.
He got his teeth done same place 69 did apparently 🐴
Sacrifice, do your research.
We knew this already
The question people should be asking is, How dark-skinned were the suspects? siwhatimean
Pop smoked
So if it was a hit, then the addy being posted had nothing to do with anything ?
kid_odjo remember what we said
I already told all the Info on my page last night. It's all 100% truth popsmoke for an informant. after his arrest in January. the feds took him in. 2 weeks later. His gang an rival was rounded up. Everyone but him. Then he moved to LA. The FBI should of protected him.
No shit Sherlock
A guy named Pop Smoke got popped and smoked. Think I'm gonna name myself Getting Head.
Black lives matter
I told you this already music artists are Targets Jealous criminals 🤔
philkotsor
Is that ole buck standing there?
Ofc
No one was in the house with him? Its a set up!
PhiriVon_ceo check it out bro, I may have been right to some extent
Rip 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤍🤍
Pop Smoke was literally changing the sound of Hip Hop. Brooklyn (really UK) Drill was about to take over everything. A lot of artists, producers, managers, labels were about to see a major shift in music and that means a massive financial hit to them. MyConspiracyTheory
No shit 🙄 a blind man can see that
FOX5Atlanta Black on black killings gotta stop!!
Any relation to Cornpop?
I think so too its too early to conclude it as robbery case only
Would NRA claim that US needs more guns to prevent this kind of thing? USPolitics NRA
So?
The dangers of wanting to get a story out without facts. Poor teddi and her husband were accused of a robbery. Good ol tmz spreading conspiracy therories.
I Guess it appears That Pop Smoke Murder Appeared to be Target Hit, Not Robbery
Meeeeeh, what's up doc?
QueenzFlip
FOX5Atlanta yall set it up
paakieg_242 donalmannion... smoke big
somebody did not like his teeth
It’s always sad when a young life is lost... now we are going to start hearing how legendary and great of hiphop artist he was... 🤦♂️
You don’t say.
😭😭😭
Too bad
JeffreyO MGthefuture here it is
'the rapper posted a photo earlier in the day of a bunch of gifts ... one of which had his home address emblazoned on it' smh
All your homeboys be setting y'all up don't know when y'all going to learn y'all be posting all them jewelries you can't do that nowadays and you don't have friends trust no one

Yep
Duh...
clarencehilljr Wanna make 💰 5⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ real quick ❓no catches
At first glance, I thought it read Pot Smoke... 😂
Why don’t u guys have a little more curtesy on making sure Immediate family members know about the murder before releasing or “being the first to break the story” or get ready for the lawsuits,, Kobe,, now Popsmoke.
ZvarayiBrendon shit is crazzzy smh
Sooo who was on the way to meet wit shawty...cuz the news gotta a lot to say ripBasharJackson PopSmoke
That gang life in LA is different. Goes back to the 50s. The shit in NY is not even 15 years old yet. They not playing around in LA. You claim something, you better come correct.
mobodaboi07
They some fucking haters 🤦🏾♂️
Hope this don’t turn out to be no gang related shit
Yall FOOL be lettin that bs lifestyle take your life. Niggah need get a hair cut, pull pants up, go dentist, speak correct english, stay in school. Thats what Mamba would do...
They do anything for clout
Obviously
grass is green
Another irrelevant wrapper bites the dust. Nothing of value was lost. Learn to play real music.
Knew that 🤦🏾♀️
These seem to make more sense now ?
That’s messed up. Someone was jealous.
Wow really?!?! I could have never guessed! 🤯
Shocker
Seem like everyone been knew it was no robbery but a target hit.
It was an invitation.
funny enough it could be his homie behind this
of course.
REST IN POWER POP SMOKE LOVE YOU DAWG🤧💔🐐
