Boosie BadAzz is telling fellow rappers to remain armed whenever traveling through Los Angeles in the wake of PnB Rock’s shooting death on Monday, and Ice T says he’s done speaking on gang culture after the slain rapper’s tragic passing.
Boosie BadAzz similarly tweeted that rappers traveling to Los Angeles need to start keeping a firearm on them for their own safety.
“Every time u n LA KEEP YOUR GUNS N YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER!!” Boosie tweeted Tuesday. “BE READY TO SHOOT AT ALL TIMES!! KEEP YOUR HAND ON YOUR GLOCK (no safety) N SHOOT SOON AS YOU SEE HARM R ANYONE SUSPICIOUS!! They will rob n kill u ITS THE RAP MURDER CAPITAL #LA tip: to everyone lost they life n LA.”
Meanwhile, Ice T tweeted that he’s “don’t speaking on LA Gang culture,” adding that “MFers will not listen” to him when he tells them “it’s not a game… at all.”
“I’m done explaining LA Gang culture, ” Ice T tweeted. “MFers will not listen. It’s not a game… at all.”
Boosie and Ice T aren’t the only rappers speaking on PnB Rock’s shooting death, which occurred at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffle’s in Los Angeles, a known hotspot for gang activity and violence.
Rock, 30, was shot by armed assailants during a robbery, according to authorities.
Meanwhile, friend and collaborator Kodak Black blamed the slain rapper’s girlfriend entirely for his death in his own Instagram post, and even received backlash after writing “That h*e might as well kill herself.
The girlfriend, who has since deleted her Instagram account, had posted a photo of the couple eating at the restaurant in the moments leading up to his death.
Others in the rap game have taken their own stances on Rocks death.
Nicki Minaj tweeted that “after Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” in reference to Pop Smoke, a rapper who similarly was shot dead after several armed men located him following a social media post showing of a luggage bag containing an address he had been staying at in Los Angeles.
Minaj added “he was such a pleasure to work with.”
“After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” Minaj wrote in a tweet. ”
To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus.”
Cardi B came to the girlfriends defense, saying she “highly doubted” his opps “was looking at (his) babymom IG,” and chalked it up to being at a dangerous location where people “stay outside plotting.”
“I highly doubt n****s 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.”
In PnB Rock’s last video, since-deleted, was posted before he was shot dead in the armed robbery, he could be seen flashing expensive jewelry and massive diamond chains while wearing a Louis Vuitton sweatshirt.
He had even revealed in an interview before his death that he had been the target of several armed robberies leading up to his passing.
