Here is a list of several well-known rappers that passed away due to gun violence. Since its origins, hip-hop has been strongly linked to images of gun violence.

Rappers from all around the world frequently use gangsta rhymes to boast about their connections to the streets as well as quotes from Scarface and Boyz n the Hood.

The majority of rappers use their music to express rather than create what is currently occurring in their communities.

Whatever the case, this has resulted in some extremely great rappers dying as a result of gun violence.

Over the years, great rap icons like 2Pac and The Notorious BIG had their lives cut short because of gin violence.

In this article, Mp3bullet.ng takes a look at recent rappers who have lost their lives to gun violence.

Nipsey Hussle

Rapper Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot outside his clothes store by a man who was angry over a conversation about snitching, a prosecutor told jurors on the first day of a protracted murder trial.

Both Eric Holder and Nipsey Hussle (real name Ermias Asghedom) were wannabe rappers who grew up in the same Los Angeles neighbourhood and belonged to the Rollin’ 60s gang. On March 31, 2019, the 29-year-old Holder shot and murdered the 33-year-old Hussle after Hussle calmly informed Holder that he was becoming known as a “snitch.”

Pop Smoke

Pop Smoke, a 20-year-old New York rapper, was killed in February 2020 in Los Angeles by four teenagers who drove up to his residence in an attempted robbery.

Pop, real name Bashar Jackson, was shot to death by a 15-year-old who was one of the five people detained in connection with the rapper’s murder, according to additional evidence from a detective working the case.

The day before he was assassinated, Jackson received an Amiri gift bag. His manager called him after he shared a picture of the gift bag which had his address on Instagram and he was advised to take it off, but it was already too late.

XXXTentacion

On June 18, 2018, while at Riva’s MotorSports in Pompano Beach, Florida, the 20-year-old XXXTentacion (born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy) was robbed and fatally murdered in broad public. On Thursday during a hearing, a CCTV film was shown for the first time at Broward County Court.

It showed the rapper entering the dealership closely followed by two men who bought masks before leaving. A dark-coloured Dodge Journey 4×4 blocks the rapper’s departure as he gets back into his £115,000 BMW and prepares to leave the parking lot.

Two masked males can be seen in video footage sprinting toward him after getting out of the car’s passenger side doors. After a tussle, the 20-year-old is fatally shot at close range.

The men fled the scene with a Louis Vuitton bag containing $50,000 in cash, police said.

King Von

In 2020, Chicago rapper King Von was murdered in a shooting outside an Atlanta nightclub. The incident took place following the 26-year-record old’s release party for “Welcome to O’Block,” a reference to the South Side neighbourhood around 64th Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive where he was raised. King Von, whose true name is Dayvon Bennett, was sent to a local hospital, where he passed away.

This prompted the rapper Cardi B to address the incident, saying that instead of laying the blame, the family of the late rapper PnB Rock should receive love and support.

Cardi B tweeted:

I highly doubt nikkas 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.
