Philly is one of the hardest places to make it out of. But it's crazy because even if you make it out, there's still nowhere to go. Not for us at least. Sick, sad world. Rest in peace #Pnbrock my love to his friends, fans, and family.

The “Luv Me Again” rapper has been pronounced dead after being gunned down during a robbery in South Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the horrific incident was captured on camera and quickly ran the internet rapid with the gruesome visual. The disturbingly graphic clip shows PnB lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

As to whether or not she played a part in his untimely death by sharing their location on social media. While others believe PnB posting himself dripped in diamonds also played apart in him becoming the target of the assailant.
Sources state that PnB and his girlfriend and the mother of one of his young daughters, Steph Sibounheuang, were enjoying a meal at Roscoe’s House Of Chicken and Waffles on Monday afternoon. Moments before a gunman entered the establishment in broad-day light to rob and shoot the rapper for his jewelry.
