DJ Akademiks SLAMMED Adam22 for interviewing Blockstar, one of the men charged in the murder of Pop Smoke.
Pop Smoke was killed on Feb. 19, 2020, at a rented home in Los Angeles where he was staying while on a four-day trip to Los Angeles. Armed intruders broke into the home a day after the rapper posted a photograph on social media of a gift bag he had received, and his attackers noticed that the address of his Los Angeles Airbnb was on the gift.

During the interview, Blockstar, who was recently released from juvenile detention, said he was not sorry for the way things played out, even though Pop Smoke’s life was taken. Blockstar was just 15 at the time of the 2020 killing. He’s now 19.
“I wonder if he knows the repercussions of what he’s doing. You interviewed Pop Smoke’s killer. You basically signal to the entire whole clout-chasing generation that if you murder someone, especially someone with a name, you have a platform to get another type of clout or career. I think that’s a dangerous precedent. Very dangerous,” Ak said on Livestream.
In the comments, viewers sided with Ak, also commenting that it’s likely Blockstar will be targeted.
