Gun violence has been a regular conversation in politics and on cable news around the world. Celebrities especially in the USA have had a larger share of this. Just recently, an upcoming Los Angeles rapper, Pop Smoke, was shot in his home, just like Nipsey Hussle. ANTHONY ADA ADA ABRAHAM writes on celebrities who died or were affected by gun violence.

Rapper Pop Smoke

He’s the latest victim of gun violence as the conversation continues. The upcoming Los Angeles rapper Pop Smoke was shot dead in an apparent home invasion at around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 according toTMZ. The LAPD said two men wearing ski masks and hoodies broke into a Hollywood Hills home and opened fire before fleeing on foot. The home is an Airbnb rental owned by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and her husband Edwin Arroyave, Fox5 reported. Pop Smoke, born Bashar Barakah Jackson, gained notoriety after he released a mixtape in mid-2019 with a song, “Welcome to the Party,” that was later made into two remixes featuring Nicki Minaj and Skepta. The 20-year-old was featured on American rapper Lil Tjay’s single “War” and collaborated with rapper Travis Scott in late 2019 on the song “Gatti.” It’s unclear if Pop Smoke knew the shooters, who remain on the run.

XXXTentacion

The moment rapper XXXTentacion was shot dead at the wheel of his BMW has been shown to the trial of four men charged with his murder. The 20-year-old, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, had been visiting Riva’s MotorSports in Pompano Beach, Florida, when he was robbed and shot dead in broad daylight.

Nipsey Hussle

Ermias Joseph Asghedom known professionally as Nipsey Hussle (often stylized as Nipsey Hu$$le), was an American rapper, activist, and entrepreneur. Emerging from the West Coast hip hop scene in the mid-2000s, Hussle independently released his first mixtape, Slauson Boy Volume 1, to moderate local success, which led to him being signed to Cinematic Music Group and Epic Records. Also known for his entrepreneurship, Hussle inaugurated the Marathon Clothing store, which he founded along with partners Carless, the head of the agency, Karen Civil and his brother Samiel Asghedom in 2017, and started a co-working environment which he named “Vector 90”. On March 31, 2019, Hussle was fatally shot outside his store Marathon Clothing in South Los Angeles. Eric Holder, a 29-year-old man who had confronted Hussle earlier in the day, was arrested and charged with murder on April 2, 2019.

He was murdered shortly after dropping two of his children in Johannesburg, suburb of Rosettenville. Dube was driving his Chrysler 300C, which the assailants were after.

2Pac

2Pac is considered by many as one of the most significant rappers of all time. Much of Shakur’s work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he is considered a symbol of resistance and activism against inequality. On September 7, 1996, Shakur and his entourage were heading out to a club after a boxing match at the MGM Grand. While they were at a stop light, a white, four-door, late-model Cadillac with unknown occupants pulled up to the right side of Shakur’s sedan. Someone inside rapidly fired gunshots at Shakur. He was hit four times, twice in the chest, once in the arm, and once in the thigh. One of the bullets went into Shakur’s right lung. Knight was hit in the head by fragmentation. The shooters were believed to be associated with the notorious Crips gang. He suffered several wounds and died six days later due to internal bleeding.

B.I.G

Six months after PAC’s death, Notorious B.I.G. was a victim of a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. Heading home after the 1997 Soul Train Music Awards, he was shot multiple times at a red light. Many still believe the attacks were linked and the result of the intense West Coast-East Coast rivalry.

NFL player’s brother Calvin

In 2012, the NFL player’s brother Calvin was shot in the head following a dispute over money. He managed to survive after many intensive surgeries and a long recovery. The assailant, Lonnie Miller, was charged with second-degree attempted murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
