PnB Rock ‘s Funeral Was Officially Held Yesterday

PnB Rock ‘s family, XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, and his other loved ones came together for the late rapper’s funeral. The “Alone” MC, who passed away on September 12, was laid to rest at the Khadijah Alderman Funeral Home on 1924 W. Hunting Park Avenue. The service was ran in a Muslim custom. 

The Muslim custom in question is called Janazah. This practice involves the deceased person being buried 24 hours into their passing. For instance, when PnB’s mother heard of his passing, she demanded the medical examiner release his body to abide by Janazah. 

Unfortunately, the examiner refused, which led them to get into a heated argument. The fight was so intense that the police had to calm the situation. By Friday, his body was reportedly prepared to be released. 

Los Angeles officials also caused some trouble for the family in retrieving PnB Rock’s body.

His brother, PnB Meen, wrote via Instagram:

“We have been having trouble getting my brother back to Philadelphia. The state of Los Angeles claims they have some laws against us as Muslims. So now I have no clue when his Janazah is. It’s not right, yo. It’s goin on for a week. Prayers up. I got you, bro, and your daughters.”

Due to all the complications, his funeral happened a week later. The service sheet has a photo of PnB Rock with the phrase: “In Loving Memory of Rakim Allen, December 9, 1991 – September 12, 2022.” It also has a copy of the Janazah prayer.

PnB Rock, who died last week, was shot and killed at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles’ South Los Angeles restaurant. 

A Los Angeles Times rep spoke to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Captain Kelly Muniz that when the shooter entered the restaurant, he took out a firearm and demanded the rapper hand over his jewelry. 

Muniz explained, “He shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot.”

The shooter hasn’t been identified and allegedly fled the restaurant in a getaway car. Police are currently investigating potential enemies and surveillance footage from inside Roscoe’s and near closeby businesses so they can find more clues about the shooter.

Ice-T Speaks On LA Gang Culture Following PnB Rock’s Death

Ice-T addressed the reality of LA gang culture on Wednesday following the death of PnB Rock. While his comments didn’t directly reference the Philly rapper’s tragic passing, they brought to life just how dangerous LA can be, even for celebrities. The Law & Order: SVU star made links between hip-hop stars’ lack of jewelry and LA’s sharp rise in crime.

“People are still hitting me up about my comments about LA gang culture,” Ice-T explained on Twitter. “If you notice, LA rappers don’t wear a lotta jewelry…Me, Snoop, Cube, Dre, Game, Kendrick. The list goes on…It’s not cause we’re broke. LA is just a dangerous place, rapper or not. Why test the streets.”

The gangsta rap legend did go on to say that some stars do wear jewelry, but said many only wear expensive pieces on “certain occasions” because of the risk of theft.

“That’s on certain occasions when you’re ready for whatever…I have big jewelry too…but you don’t wake up EVERYDAY and put it on to go down the block,” he explained.

The death of Pnb Rock

Ice-T’s statements came just after the fatal shooting of PnB Rock which took place in LA on Monday. The 30-year-old was gunned down during a robbery, with his jewelry reportedly stolen as the suspect fled the scene. His death is one of the latest incidents in Los Angeles as the city experiences a rise in crime.

The robbery occurred soon after the rapper’s girlfriend posted their location in a since deleted Instagram post. Police are investigating whether that sparked the attack. They have also notified pawn shops to be on the lookout for Rock’s stolen jewelry and other items.

Instagram has been at the heart of several crimes in recent years. New York rapper Pop Smoke was killed in February 2020 during an armed robbery. He had accidentally revealed his location in an Instagram post. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian have also been robbed after posting jewelry and other accessories on social media.

Devastating news has taken over the internet! Rakim Hasheem Allen, better known by his stage name PnB Rock, was robbed, shot, and killed in front of his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang Monday afternoon in a Los Angeles restaurant called Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles. He was 30 years old.

A panic ensued among employees as the “Selfish” rapper lay on the floor fighting for his life, according to TMZ.

PnB Rock Posted Himself Wearing Diamond Chains; Did It Make Him A Target?

Before the shooting, the “Fleek” rapper posted a video of himself in the car with Stephanie wearing several diamond and silver chains. Capt. Kelly Muniz of the Los Angeles Police Department told the LA Times that the suspect posed a gun threat and requested items from the victim. Unfortunately,  according to law enforcement sources, the rapper’s jewelry was targeted.

“He shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot,” Muniz reportedly said.

In addition, a graphic video circulating the internet shows a group of spectators and an employee encircling the rapper lying in a pool of blood. He was twitching and desperately struggling for his life. Rock seemed to have sustained severe injuries based on his lost blood. Sadly, the 30-year-old victim was rushed to a nearby hospital around 1:59 p.m., where he was pronounced dead.

According to Muniz’s remarks, the South Bureau of Homicide and many other detectives will investigate the incident.
