<p>Social media was rocked when news broke that Pop Smoke had been gunned down inside of his mansion in Hollywood Hills, but fans rallied behind <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/50-cent-speaks-about-his-relationship-with-his-estranged-son/">50 Cent</a> when he announced he would be finishing his album! Now that the album is getting ready to drop, the cover art has just been released, but some fans have concerns.</p>
<p>According to Pop&#8217; manager, he always wanted to have an album cover designed by the one and only Virgil Abloh, which has come to fruition during this time. While Pop isn&#8217;t here to speak for himself, the fans have a lot to say about Virgil&#8217;s design.</p>

<p>Virgil took to Instagram with a message of his own about his relationship with Pop Smoke, and he explains the meaning behind the design for the cover.</p>
<p>&#8220;The last conversation I had with Pop Smoke was about what we were gonna do in the future. This albumcver was one of like 5 things were talked about,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He mentioned his story eellike the metaphor of a rose and thorns growing from concrete of his hood in Canarsie, Brooklyn. In your memory I just finished it yesterday, as evident of the whole idea, the t-shirt insinuates that its mandatory we put an end to this cycle of violence that plagues us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Virgil was previously under fire after he posted his $50 donation to a black lives matter initiative.</p>
