Last year, his breakout single 'Welcome to the party' became a club banger worldwide. His hoarse deep voice and swaggy moves wooed audiences around the world; it was without doubt that the 20-year-old singer was set for great things.
Sadly, "the woo" was killed in a home invasion in Los Angeles, days after his latest album debuted in Billboard's Top 10.News of his death shocked fan in the US and the world. He'd just released his second album, "Meet the Woo, Vol. 2," which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard album chart and he was evolving from being the most charismatic figure in the Brooklyn drill scene, into a genuine breakout star; not bound by place or style.
Not only did Pop Smoke disrupt the music scene, but he also seemingly had a thing going on with acting and fashion. He played his first movie role, as a charismatic basketball-playing hooligan, in Eddie Huang's film "Boogie". He attended Paris Fashion Week, sitting front row at Off-White, and was photographed alongside the designer Virgil Abloh.
The young pop star was clearly cut for fame. The world fell in love with him and he gave it the best he could give; Music and unmatched charisma. We shall truly miss Pop Smoke - may he rest in eternal power!
