POP Smoke’s girlfriend has revealed the rapper warned her to keep her door locked before he was killed in a home invasion.
The musician, real name Bahar Jackson, 20, died from a gunshot wound to the chest after being attacked by up to six gunmen on Wednesday.
His girlfriend, known as Yummy Yellow, has broken her silence to reveal their last moments together before he was killed at a Hollywood Hills home where he was staying.
“I can’t sit & say I wish I hugged u more before u walked out that door Monday cause I hugged u all night before that flight to Cali (sic),” she wrote on Instagram
“Can’t even say we should of said I love u more that night/morning cause we said it over 20 times.
“U even came back after leaving the house & said ‘didn’t I say lock the door?"
Days after his death, his girlfriend shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram.
“The more I get to thinking, I realize I tend to have a cold heart but, you melted mine so quickly.
“We taught each other self-awareness. He was rare. Never once did he try to change me. He was so resilient.
“Nothing could bend or break him.
“He never ceased to amaze me with his honesty, I knew everything, I mean everything.”
“Pop I love u. I adore u. You exceeded my expectations as a man. I tried to protect u from everything, u know that (sic).”
Her comments came as his family and friends are understood to have gathered together to pay tribute to the late rapper in his hometown of Brooklyn.
Police have opened a homicide investigation into attack that claimed his life at around 4.30am.
Officials said on Wednesday that they had received a 911 call just before 5am local time from someone on the east coast reporting that a friend's property was being broken into.
The caller had spoken with someone in the house who told them there were between two and six assailants.
Security footage later showed four men wearing ski masks approaching the home and creeping into the back yard.
No arrests have yet been made, but Los Angeles Police Department officials are now investigating whether the shooting was a targeted hit.

Jackson had been renting the home from Real Housewives star Teddi Mellencamp and her husband.
Images posted to social media just hours before the attack showed him posing with his Range Rover in front of the property, but also mistakenly revealed its address.
The address was reportedly visible as Jackson held up to the camera the packaging of a gift he had been sent in the post.
