<p>His message came after the shocking news that Pop Smoke had been fatally shot in Los Angeles. As we previously reported, his murder occurred in what appeared to be a home invasion.</p>
<p>However, early Thursday, <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/pop-smokes-murder-reportedly-appeared-to-be-a-targeted-hit-not-a-robbery-update/">new reports</a></em> claimed that the murder turned out to be a targeted hit and not a robbery seeing as how the suspected shooter was reportedly seen on surveillance video leaving the home without taking anything.</p>
<p>Many rappers across the hip-hop community have been advocating to stop the violence as many artists continue to lose their lives at such a young age. One of the many big names to speak out following the news of his passing was Nicki Minaj.</p>
<p>She said, &#8220;The Bible tells us that jealousy is as cruel as the. grave. Unbelievable. Rest In Peace, Pop.&#8221;</p>
