The young rapper, Pop Smoke, was murdered in a home invasion in the early of this year, 19 February. Four people have been charged in connection with the death case.
Bashar Barakah Jackson, also known as Pop Smoke, was only 20 years old at the moment. At around 4 am, four masked gunmen burst into a house in Hollywood Hills, where Jackson was staying inside. There were two of them who fired several shots at Jackson and fled the scene quickly. With the bullet flying in the house, Jackson was rushed to a local hospital by ambulance, but unfortunately, he was announced dead there.
A lot of rumours were saying that Pop Smoke got himself killed. Because in the morning, the same day of the incidents happened, Pop Smoke posted photos of him in a luxury car, wearing expensive accessories, carrying a branded bag, and showing off a few stacks of money on his Instagram. Moreover, late night, he was also showing off his new sponsored gears on his Instagram story. But at the same time, he accidentally revealed the address of his house in LA. These inadvertent actions have cost him his life as gunners can target him and break into the house effortlessly.
A Twitter user posted that Pop Smoke accidentally revealed his address on Instagram.

However, the real reason for Pop Smoke's death remains unclear. According to Los Angeles investigators and the fans, there might be several reasons such as pure home invasion robbery, gang-related, or being set up by his friend.
Pop Smoke released his first mixtape back in July last year, and one of his songs "Welcome to the Party" has become one of the most popular Hip Hop songs in 2019. He also got the opportunity to collaborate with a few famous artists like Nicki Minaj, Quavo, and Travis Scott. It is believed that Pop Smoke is on the verge of becoming the next rap star in the circle. However, it is unexpected that Pop Smoke will die at such an early age.
Rest in peace.
