Los Angeles Police are feverishly searching for the killer of rapper PnB Rock who was shot and killed on Monday. In statements to the media, LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore says that posts on Instagram may have led to the rapper being targeted for a robbery.

PnB Rock was shot and killed at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in Inglewood, California, while they dined in the restaurant. Rock was shot multiple times after a lone gunman demanded his gold and diamond chains and a Rolex watch he was wearing.

Moore says that while Rock’s girlfriend and mother of one of his children is not to be blamed, the incident seems to have occurred after both the rapper and his girlfriend posted that they were in the area.

According to the police Chief, Rock had shared several posts on Instagram while in the back parking lot in their Cadillac that they were at Roscoe’s. Reports are that PnB Rock had shared he was at Roscoe’s for about 45 minutes prior to the shooting.

There are four Roscoe’s in the Inglewood area, but Cops believe that the suspect had been watching PnB’s Instagram account and then went to his girlfriend’s account, where she had tagged the exact restaurant location that they were at in an Instagram Story.

“The target was expensive jewelry and property that he had on his person. We believe a senseless murder occurred following a posting on Instagram,” Moore said as he emphasized that criminals were using social media to survey potential victims.

In the meantime, police are still investigating the murder, and they have warned pawn shops to be on the lookout for any suspect who may try to sell the jewelry that was taken from the rapper.

In a statement, the police released brief details on what took place on Monday saying that the rapper was killed in a robbery while dining when he was approached by one suspect while another waited in a car in the parking lot. Cops say Allen was shot multiple times after the robber demanded items from him.

“There was a verbal exchange, and the suspect shot the victim multiple times,” police said. “The suspect appears to remove some items and fled the location. The suspect entered a vehicle waiting in the parking lot that fled in an unknown direction.”

Police said PnB Rock was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2 PM on Monday, September 12, 2022.

In the meantime, the rapper continues to be mourned by many across the industry, even as other celebrities share words of advice for others not to wear excessive jewelry or to share their locations or even looks of what their homes look like to give thieves ideas.

On Tuesday, PnB’s label Atlantic Records memorialized the late rapper in a statement saying he was much more than a artist.

“He was also a wonderful father to two beautiful little girls,” Atlantic said in a statement sent to Urban Islandz. “This news is heavy on our hearts and we are all hurting over this senseless loss.”

In the meantime, Rock’s girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheaung is not a suspect, but she is assisting with investigations, police say.

As the hip-hop is mourning the shocking loss of PnB Rock, who was fatally shot at a Roscoe’s Waffle House in L.A. on Monday, fans’ eyes have turned to Nicki Minaj’s Twitter rant, in particular her response to the murder.

Soon after the news was confirmed of his untimely passing, Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to offer her condolences and share her pain at the loss with her more than 26 million fans. The message seemed innocent enough but, for some reason, drew the ire of some fans while others praised her stance.

“After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts. To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus,” she tweeted.

The anger came from some fans who felt she was indirectly blaming the fallen rapper’s girlfriend, who shared their location while eating. Something that has not yet been blamed in any way for the “Misunderstood” rapper’s demise.

Nicki Minaj, who is known for being very interactive on her social media channels, responded to the backlash and tried to explain that her message wasn’t supposed to stir up a hornet’s nest but rather remind rappers that they are often looked at with jealousy and in some cases violent eyes.

“As a RAPPER & as a MOTHER. I know 1st hand how these guys feel coming from the streets then being able to provide for their moms. My heart is hurting for the MOTHERS OF THESE KIDS that tried to make something better of their lives!!! LETS EDUCATE ASAP!!!” she said in one tweet.

In another, she explained that there could never be a wrong time to put forward a positive message. For her, all that matters is if at least one young rapper could be saved. She also lashed out at the hate she was getting and said she really didn’t care about all the negativity surrounding her comments.

The “Starships” rapper also said that those commenting couldn’t possibly understand her pain because she is in the industry. She added that it was a different kind of pain a person feels when someone they were just working with gets gunned down. At the end of that tweet, she also said that all she really cared about was saving young rappers.

The “Anaconda” rapper also said that it was time that the people around young rappers take better care of their safety and remind them that there may be people out there who want to take them down.

In recent times fans have been pitting Nicki Minaj against Cardi B, and this time was no different as some fans commented that Cardi’s expression of condolences was much better worded.

“I highly doubt n***as was looking at PMB’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time,” Cardi also posted.

PnB Rock’s murder further reinforces Jim Jones’ statement that being a rapper is the most dangerous job.

Grammy-award-winning Koffee has proven time and again that she is devoted to positive vibes and energy. That’s just what she’s hoping to spread with the 2022 staging of her Haffi Make It school tour.

The “Gifted” artist spoke with the Observer and shared that she is aiming to both inspire and empower the youth who she will perform for. The tour is expected to begin tomorrow, September 14, at the Lewisburgh Primary and Marborough Primary schools in St Mary.

Koffee emphasized that the theme of the series is “Rise Up Against Bullying.” It’s a message she seeks to ensure will be imparted to the young and impressionable minds she will touch. This is the second in the series, as the first one was back in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Drawing on her experience from that first tour which mainly focused on high school students, she said that this time around, they decided to focus on even younger children. She explained that this year the team felt like they needed to capture students’ attention at an early age, especially since the message focuses on bullying.

Koffee hope that she can inspire the next generation to take action against bullying and to help them realize that there are other paths in life besides violence.

This time, the “Rapture” artist has partnered with Tammi Chang, who has many titles to her name, including VP, Foundation and Membership Chair of Rotary Club (Ocho Rios East), artiste manager, and CEO of LEVELS Management.

Koffee has always expressed her earnest desire to give back to her age group and young people in general, and she intends to come good on her previous promises. This year the focus is on helping children cope with various issues like cyber-bullying, in-person conflicts, and conflict resolution.

Chang, who also spoke with the publication, said that she and her team were very excited to be back with another staging of the Haffi Make It School Tour.

“This year’s theme is ‘Rise Up Against Bullying’ and it’s not only a timely topic but also one that the team and I are extremely passionate about. We are aiming to equip students with the tools they need to cope with and diffuse instances of bullying, so they are able to focus on unlocking their true potential,” she added.

Besides the lure of Koffee on stage, this year’s tour will also feature motivational talks from key persons within the anti-bullying fraternity.

Chang also explained that one of the main topics is to urge victims and/or perpetrators to seek counsel from their guidance counseling department. As well as how to practice conflict resolution approaches that are coherent with school values. Another issue that the tour will give priority to is helping students learn how they can take action if they or someone they know is being bullied.

The “West Indies” singer will also be joined by singer Genrus, who incidentally was the opening act on her recent Gifted Tour.

Even with the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, and global popularity, Koffee has continued to show that she truly cares about youth development and is putting her resources and effort into the noble cause.

Nicki Minaj is getting more direct with her subtweets as she called out Cardi B for bashing a fan whose house was recently burnt down. Cardi has since respond where seemingly suggest her rap rival is using her for clout and is afraid to mention her directly.

Nicki Minaj has been on a Twitter rampage from Sunday night after an hour-long rant where she attacked Garcelle Beauvais for interviewing Jennifer Hough, the woman who accused her husband of rape, and she ranted about other rappers who were going up against her.

Some fans even felt that part of her rant was directed at Megan Thee Stallion, who wasted no time in responding to a claim by Minaj. According to the Trinidadian rapper, someone told her to have an abortion when she was in the early stages of pregnancy with her son. Her fans suggest that she is speaking about Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper quickly responded calling the accusation lies.

On Monday, Minaj continued her subtweets which were easily deciphered as she hinted that she was going to launch a defamation lawsuit against bloggers.

While Minaj had earlier stated that the reason for the lawsuit was because Lee and others claimed that she was a cocaine user, it’s unclear why she was sub-tweeting at Cardi B.

One of her fans on Twitter posted, “yall peep what kyle just did? Purposely posted a shortened clip of what nicki said about garcelle so that people will drag her. He hasn’t posted shit about #that lady going to court this morning btw.”

Minaj had a response to the tweet as she called out Afernee and referenced a Cardi B tweet.

“Has he posted anything about b***hs making fun of someone’s house burning down? I had his a$$ on my show and barbz are the oone that got his site popping,” she wrote. “Stop going on that sh*t. Report & move on. And I haven’t seen his site today but I’m just saying.”

Twitter

The incident Nicki Minaj is referring to is a response by Cardi B to a Twitter user who tried to troll her.

“B**ch please, you wear these once your body start to reject that surgery,” the commenter said about a photo of Cardi’s swollen feet. The Bronx rapper also had a savage reply for the troll. “You though you ate that like the fire ate your house …. Now go to your roo..oops my bad,” Cardi wrote back.

Twitter

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj also responded to a post by Lee where he said that he had submitted The Neighborhood Talk to be verified by Instagram in response to Minaj vindictively asking her thousands of fans to report the page and shut it down.

Minaj also had a cheeky reply to a fan who shared the post and said, “the DUDS are working together.”

“Exactly. We been knew he doing his dirty work. what yOu NoT gon Do is be able to afford this defamation lawsuit. Lmaooooo Judd [Burstein] (Minaj’s lawyer) said in 40 years he’s never seen anyones fanbase send this much evidence in support of a celebrity,” Minaj wrote.

Cardi B has since issued a response pretty much saying that her nemesis didn’t mention her by name or at her.

“This sh** is tiring, old, and redundant,” Cardi tweeted. “Same formula, DIFFERENT YEAR start chaos, drama, and then promote their sh**. I actually have a life outside of my house and Twitter. Until b***hes put a @ on it they talking to their mother. Byeeee.”

Moneybagg Yo has dropped a big hint that he’s expecting another child and Meek Mill stepped forward to deny he is dating Ari Fletcher.

On Monday, the CMG rapper posted a photo of a pregnant woman who is seen wearing a gold Rolex watch and a big diamond ring. Although he hasn’t confirmed the identity of the woman, social media users are speculating that Ari Fletcher is the woman in the photo. Her possible pregnancy comes as a surprise to many as it appears that the two recently broke up.

Moneybagg Yo and Ari Fletcher have been dating since 2019, and the pair were recently spotted at the launch of her make-up line two weeks ago. There are reports that Moneybagg was supporting her as just a friend as they are no longer together.

A tweet by Ari later also hinted that the two were no longer together as she wrote that she was now single and focused on her life. With her Lamborghini truck that Bagg gave her last year for her birthday being repossessed, there was further speculation that the couple’s relationship has deteriorated beyond repair.

Neither Moneybagg Yo nor Ari Fletcher has spoken about the state of their relationship, but there were reports last month that they are facing rocky times as he was allegedly spotted traveling to Columbia with another woman. Well, it seems that the hip-hop couple has managed to detract fans and followers who are interested in their lives.

The photo shared by Moneybagg on Monday afternoon on Twitter has some fans musing that it was curiously timed as reports surfaced prior that Ari Fletcher was spotted at the same hotel as Meek Mill.

Some IG blogs shared a photo of Meek Mill and another by Ari Fletcher side by side as it insinuated that they both were together in the same room. The post caption said they appeared to “have similar taste when it comes to hotel décor.”

Meek Mill later called out the blog for the suggestive post.

“Take this cap down.. and I don’t mind immediately follow up on n***s old ladies that’s good wit me… It’s a million women outchea and it’s fashion week chilllll,” Meek responded to the post.

Moneybagg Yo later deleted the picture that was posted and has not responded to the questions by fans.

In the meantime, the photo has been scrutinized by fans who concluded that it is Ari as the diamond ring is the same as the one that she shared that Moneybagg gave her in February, and a red tattoo on her hand is also identified as one she has.
