Pop Smoke's Brother Says The Rapper Received Death Threats Before Being Killed

Pop Smoke's brother Obasi Jackson was a recent guest on Taraji P. Henson's Peace of Mind with Taraji podcast and talked about Pop being killed on Feb. 19, 2020 in Hollywood, Calif.

Jackson said that his brother was receiving threats before his death and is baffled why he didn't have any security while in Hollywood.

"There was a time when he went through a situation where people would put him down and count him out. There was a lot of threats on his life because of that," Jackson explained. "People were trying to figure out where the threats were coming from. I didn't think that anybody would do that and it's just a lot that goes into it."

"You go out there with no security. I'm just like, I can't even fathom," he added. "It's mind-boggling to me that someone would let a superstar go out with no security. That still plays on my mind. That just don't make no sense, so I don't wanna point fingers. That's not who I am as a person. But the truth is what the truth is and that's something that bothers me."

Why do you think Pop was in Hollywood without security?
