for death ... we know the rapper shut down one of his own performances just days before his murder out of concern there were gang members in the audience.

Pop was scheduled to play the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn last Sunday night, but took to Instagram just before the show to cancel. Pop blamed it on cops, saying,"Unfortunately NYPD wouldn't let me perform." Our law enforcement sources say it wasn't the NYPD that shut the show down ... they say the decision was made by Pop himself. The rapper was out on bail in a federaland was ordered to stay away from gang members, so cops say canceling the show was really self-preservation.

There's been a buzz in L.A. among Pop's circle that gang members might be behind his murder. The fact that Pop himself had concerns about gang members was something that has not escaped the attention of police. TMZ broke the story -- the feds busted Pop last month for allegedly transporting a stolen Rolls-Royce -- and that's why he was on bail.

Why does he look so confused?

But wait, you reported it was because they were flashing money in a video earlier that day.

wtf is a pop smoke? RandomNameGenerator FlipFlop WetDrank SlapDick

black ppl are killing successful black ppl all the time and then wondering where all the successful black ppl are stop the madness help each other

Ghetto is as ghetto does...

Stop shooting rappers‼️

RIP my nigga

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

there u go with the “FAKE NEWS” again. Give his mama & dad, his whole family respect. Just being messy!!

Don’t know who this guy ever was but have seen some pics... maybe dont act like a wangster and you won’t have to deal with others lol

If he was afraid of gang members then why in the heck did he post his address🤔

Once you made it out, started lookin out for the niggas that got u killed SMFH

Thanks

They wanted to get him because his name is so stupid!!

Don't know who this person is....so stop making stupid people famous.....

He got popped and smoked

RIP Pot Smoke

Probably not the brightest of ideas to put up an Instagram post with a stack of cash and his address on a piece of paper next to the stack of cash. I mean seriously wtf did he think would happen.

Fuck TMZ.

He died it’s over

Note to self... don’t join a gang.

🙏🏽💚 prayers

I bet Mama Smoke was involved somehow.

ALL THESE WITNESSES IN THE HOUSE AND STILL NO REAL INFORMATION. 1. FINGERPRINTS 2. WITNESSES IN THE HOUSE 3. VIDEO AND THIS CASE SEEMS LIKE ITS GETTING NOWHERE UNLESS WERE JUST NOT GETTING THE INFO

SEND NYPD IN TO INVESTIGATE THIS CASE. LAPD ARE TRASH INVESTIGATORS. 1. IM SURE THERE IS FINGERPRINT EVIDENCE, THE GUY CLOSING THE DOOR DIDNT HAVE ON GLOVES AND IF ITS GANG MEMBERS IM SURE THERE IS A HIT IN THE DATABASE.

Of course he was. This is the life of a gangster masquerading as a rapper/gangmember.

So he posts his home addy and pics of him holding tons of money on the internet. He wasn’t very cluey...

Then don’t be involved in gangs 🤷🏽‍♀️

Then mabe he shouldn’t have posted is address

blah ppl don't even know about this struggled turmoil acathlic rights pfft Passat

East and West feud again 😳

I don’t even know who this Pop person is. The same way i didn’t even know who nipsy was

Please start calling him .. Pop smoked

Damn let this man rest‼️ Fucking annoying af 🙄🙄🙄🖕🏾

Bro, BRO, find the pussyhole shooter .
