Gun Violence Has Killed At Least 1 Rapper Every Year Since 2018

The Los Angeles hip-hop scene was shocked by the murder of artist PnB Rock this week, but the discussions that followed were old hat.
According to Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore, the rapper was shot while dining with his girlfriend at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles in what seems to be a robbery. Notably, Moore said that a photo of the couple’s supper with the location labeled had been uploaded to Instagram.
PnB Rock is not the first rapper to pass away from gun violence, but his passing adds to a pattern that at least stretches back to 2018. Since then, at least one rapper who was either already well-known or on the verge of becoming well-known has died as a result of gun violence, whether it resulted from robbery or a dispute.
“The ppl around these rappers gain so much. It’s time to start really reminding them over & over!!! At least TRY to put your foot down if you CARE! Tell them!!! You’re not loved like you think you are!!! You’re prey!!!! In a world full of predators!!!! What’s not clicking???!!!” rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted after PnB Rock’s death.
Her tweets and the organic conversations among other artists and fans on social media speak to common issues in hip-hop: masculinity, security and handling rising fame.
“The amount of non reported robbery attempts dealing with rappers are ridiculous.. hella rappers don’t even speak on it cuz some feel it’s embarrassing to admit or speak on. Rappers literally being targeted out there and ppl trying em in broad daylight,” podcast host and entertainer DJ Akademiks tweeted Monday.
PN BRICK I previously discussed a robbery attempt with DJ Akademiks while he was out with his girlfriend and daughter. The rapper, who is from Philadelphia, was reportedly unprotected on Monday when he visited Roscoe’s.
He is now included in the group of rappers who have experienced gun violence. Here are a few more well-known artists that have passed away in 2018:
