The details around Pop Smoke's murder remain a bit of a mystery.

Pop Smoke was shot and killed four years ago. In fact, the four-year anniversary of his passing took place on Monday, February 19th. Overall, his death was a shocking one for a lot of people. He was a rising star in the hip-hop world, and it felt like he would be around for a very long time. However, his career was cut short by senseless violence.

Taking to her Instagram account, Amelia Rose had an emotional message about what happened. In this message, she explained how she thought she was going to die that night. Moreover, she revealed the movie Pop Smoke was watching, as well as the fear he had when the intruder came in.
