Rapper PnB Rock was shot today (Sept. 12) while he was out dining at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he has passed away.
According to TMZ, PnB was eating at the Inglewood location of the restaurant with his girlfriend on Monday afternoon. A little before 1:30 pm PT, a gunman came in and shot PnB. Reportedly, the assailant removed jewelry from PnB’s person before fleeing, and didn’t target anyone else in the restaurant.
Video of PnB as he laid shot on the floor of the restaurant soon started circulating on social media but we will not be sharing that footage. It’s likely his Opps may have moved on PnB after his girlfriend shared footage of where they were eating [Note: Blame the shooter, though, not the victims]. In a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, the rapper relayed that he felt people were trying to line him up.
Although he is from Philly, PnB Rock made Los Angeles his home. The 30-year-old rapper’s latest project, TrapStar Turnt PopStar, was released in 2019.
PnB Rock was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. He is survived by two daughters. The shooter is still at large.
Prayers up to PnB Rock’s family, friends and fans.
