In the era of clout chasing nothing is off-limits.
Disrespecting the dead homies of your opps is common in rap,
ever since it was popularized by Chicago drill.
But now someone has taken it to a new level
and vandalized the grave of the late Pop Smoke.
Let’s take a closer look at what happened.
Pop Smoke was one of the most promising rappers to blow up from New York in a long time.
He brought the Brooklyn Drill sound to a mainstream level
and was on track to becoming a major star before he was killed.
But before becoming a rapper, he was also involved in streets
and had plenty of opps in Brooklyn.
Although, it’s not clear if one of his opps was responsible for vandalizing his grave
or it was just a random clout chaser.
TMZ reported that on the morning of Saturday September 11th,
eyewitnesses at Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn
noticed that Pop Smoke’s gravesite had been destroyed. S
omeone had smashed his crypt and even attempted to drag out his casket.
The marble plaque where his name was written had been smashed to pieces
and left beside the gravesite.
The witnesses also discovered dirt and old flowers scattered across the ground
as well as what appeared to be joints that had been smoked and discarded.
Upon closer inspection, there appeared to be drag marks on the ground,
suggesting that the vandals had tried to pull something out of his tomb
– possibly his casket.
The witness immediately called security, who notified the police.
After a brief investigation, they determined that the crypt was likely damaged
sometime between 2:30pm on Friday and 2 pm on Saturday.
Unfortunately, there were no cameras in the area to catch who did it and as of yet,
no one had been arrested.
But police are currently investigating.
For the time being, his plaque has been replaced with a blank slab.
It isn’t clear whether his casket is still inside the tomb
or if the interior had been tampered with.
But it’s still an open investigation and more details will likely come out
if someone is caught.
Police estimate that the vandals did about $500 worth of damage to the tomb
and Pop’s grave had been clearly targeted, considering no other gravesites were touched.
Even though it’s not clear who did it or what their motivations were
– there’s no justification for doing something that disrespectful.
Whoever did it is seriously disturbed and needs to be punished.
The fact that they found a smoked joint on the scene also adds to the disrespect.
It means the vandals were casually hanging out by his grave
and disrespecting him by smoking there with bad intentions.
It’s hard to imagine what they must have been doing
because it all sounds too messed up to be true.
Pop Smoke’s own mother went to his gravesite to clean up after the incident
and confirmed that the news was true.
The saddest thing about the whole ordeal
is that it’s his family who are the ones that really suffer.
Even if the vandals had problems with Pop,
there’s no reason that his mom should have to go through that.
Disrespecting dead opps
has become common ever since Chief Keef and the rest of the BD’s started dissing Tooka.
We’ve even seen Brooklyn rappers spray paint the gravesite of a dead opp
– like when rapper 1090 Justo B
went to Nick Blixky’s grave and spray painted GDK.
But, trying to break into someone’s tomb is not just disrespectful, it’s borderline satanic.
As of yet, no one has taken credit for disrespecting Pop Smoke’s grave online.
Although it’s tough to know who would want to take credit for something like that
if they were after the clout it seems like they missed their opportunity.
It’s possible that they thought Pop was buried with some jewelry and other valuables,
which is why they tried to break into his tomb.
But the police did not report that anything had been stolen,
so they couldn’t have gotten away with much.
Although Pop was a beloved rapper in the music industry,
he was active in the streets before rap
and it’s possible that his grave
was vandalized by opps as a clear sign of disrespect.
Pop was a member of the Woo, as well as a set of the crips,
who are known to beef with many other gangs in Brooklyn.
So, it could be that his grave was vandalized
by someone who he was beefing with before he died.
Or even random dudes from a rival gang who were just trying to disrespect the Woo
by going after its most famous dead rapper.
There isn’t enough information to tell exactly what happened.
Police are currently investigating, but if there was no camera footage,
they may have a tough time making an arrest.
Unless someone is stupid enough to take credit for the vandalism on social media
or they can pull some DNA from the smoked joint.
Hopefully, they will find the person responsible for doing this
and maybe even beef up the security in the cemetery, so it doesn’t happen again.
But on a lighter note,
MGK recently had an altercation with Conor McGregor at the VMA’s
that has also had rap fans confused.
Here’s a closer look at what happened.
MGK is a rapper who is no stranger to beef.
He went head to head with the Rap God himself back in 2018
after Em dissed him on his album Kamikaze.
Back in 2012, MGK tweeted something about Eminem’s daughter Hayley being hot.
At the time, the rapper was 21 and Hayley was only 16
so it’s not hard to tell why Em was mad.
But what was unexpected is that he kept it bottled up for about 6 years
and chose to go after MGK out of nowhere on Kamikaze.
MGK quickly responded with the track Rap Devil
and Em shot back with the track Kill shot,
confirming it was a full-on rap beef.
Eventually, the beef just died out and they haven’t gone at each other in a while.
But now it looks like MGK has beef with another superstar – Conor McGregor.
On Sunday, September 12th,
both MGK and Conor McGregor were in attendance at the VMA’s,
which was being held at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn.
According to TMZ, the fight started after MGK
refused to take a picture with McGregor.
McGregor allegedly would not let it go and kept pressing the rapper.
This made MGK shove McGregor and security had to step in to separate them.
While they were being pulled apart by security, McGregor also threw his drink at MGK.
McGregor did an interview with Entertainment Tonight right after the incident,
where he claimed it was no big deal and he didn’t know what happened.
He says that he didn’t even know MGK,
even though witnesses say that he had approached him trying to get a picture.
Absolutely nothing, I don't know, I just-
I just showed up and I don't know, just
I don't even know the guy to be honest with you
He continued to throw more shade at the rapper by saying
“I only fight real fighters who actually fight..
and I certainly don’t fight little vanilla boy rappers…
I don’t even know the guy, I don’t know anything about him."
cause nothing happened with me I only fight real fighters who actually fight
you know what I mean, I certainly don't fight little vanilla ice boy rappers
I don't even know the guy, I don't know anything about him.
Luckily, the whole thing was witnessed by none other than Ja Rule,
who was the one who broke the news to ET.
I heard there was a fight with Machine Gun and-
Connor McGregor just over there about 10 minutes ago
Machine Gun Kelly has yet to comment on what happened.
After the incident,
MGK and his date Megan Fox
allegedly threatened to leave the event before taking pictures
but returned after McGregor was gone.
The whole situation is pretty crazy.
It’s not clear why MGK turned down a simple photo request from McGregor,
when they were already at an event where they're constantly being photographed.
It’s not like he was approached by an annoying fan
while he was trying to eat dinner,
they were literally at a red-carpet event
and McGregor is one of the most famous UFC fighters in the world.
The rumors are that MGK was mad
because McGregor had been sending DM’s to his girlfriend Megan Fox on social media.
So when the boxer tried to approach him like a fan, he had to shut it down.
That would also explain why McGregor acted so strange after the fact
and claimed that he didn’t even know who MGK was.
McGregor would seem to hint at this in another interview he did the next day
with journalist Adam Glyn outside of a hotel in Soho.
He continued to claim he didn’t know who MGK was saying, "I don’t even know the guy.
I don’t know him. Who is he? He told me he’s been at the fights,
Megan has been at the fights years…
so I know Megan, and then I don’t know the guy.
There is no problem. Come to the fights, no problem.”
I don't even know the guy, I don't know him, who is he?
He's telling me he's been at the fights
Megan's been at the fights years,
Megan has been at the fights years,
so I know Megan and then-
and then, I don't know the guy, there's no problem, come to the fights
So even though he claims there’s no beef, it definitely seems like he’s throwing shade.
He also makes it clear that he knows Megan and has seen her at his fights in the past,
which backs up the theory about him DMing her.
It would be pretty great if MGK decided to release a diss track about McGregor,
although that seems unlikely.
The rapper recently made a transition from straight hip hop into pop punk
with the album Ticket to My Downfall, which was produced by Travis Barker.
He and Megan were recently spotted hanging out with Barker and his new girlfriend,
Kourtney Kardashian, so it seems like MGK is finally starting to make his way into the A-list.
The beef will likely blow over and both will forget about it.
If only McGregor rapped, then fans might get some hilarious diss tracks.
But it seems like both of them will likely just move on and forget about it
unless McGregor keeps DMing Megan.
Although, MGK has proven that he doesn’t back down from a confrontation.
If he doesn’t like you, he doesn’t like you,
even if you’re a world-famous athlete.
So, fans have to give him credit for being real.
