Rapper Shot Dead At Restaurant After Girlfriend Shared Location On Instagram

American rapper Rakim Allen, who is professionally known as PnB Rock, has been shot dead at a Los Angeles restaurant after his girlfriend shared their location on Instagram.

Gatekeepers News reports that PnB Rock who had a hit track, ‘Selfish’, was fatally shot by a robber on Monday at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles after his girlfriend, in a since-deleted Instagram post, shared a location-tagged photo.

“He (robber) shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot,” said Los Angeles police chief Kelly Muniz.

The rapper, on September 2, spoke about how rappers were targets of brazen robberies in LA and went on to share close robbery attempts in Los Angeles when he was out with his girlfriend and daughter in 2020, “mid pandemic” at the Fairfax Avenue.

“Where I’m from, we like sneaky criminals. In LA… they bold,” PnB Rock said on a podcast, ‘Off the Record with DJ Akademiks’.

The rapper had stated that he had never been robbed.

“That’s why I feel like LA’s spooky, man,” he added. “It’s just so bold. I’m seeing mad videos like they don’t even do it at night. Like night maybe, but broad daylight, that’s when they really do it.”
