Rising rap artist Pop Smoke was gunned down during an altercation at a Los Angeles rental home in February 2020. Now, nearly six years after his death, Pop Smoke’s brother, Obasi, is calling out those who have faded into the background following his death.
Pop Smoke’s Brother Calls Out Fivio & Steven Victor
Obasi and his mother, Audrey Jackson, recently appeared on Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda’s podcast, The Real Report. And during their appearance, Obasis called out the alleged posers.
Obasi noted that there are people who come out and show love on Pop Smoke Day, as well as people from his home church, the St. Paul Community Baptist church in Brooklyn. But he says that many of the people who have used Pop’s name to gain notoriety have not reached out at all. Namely, Fivio Foreign, whom Obasi says he “ran down” over his lack of support.
“The people that ya’ll would think should be tapping in are not tapping in,” he said. “You know Akademiks already had an interview with Fivio. I’ve already run down on him on the internet.”
“If I die right now and my friends don’t check on my mom or my family ever, that’s an issue. Everybody gotta get money. I would never want to see a black man get no money. But if you’re talking about ‘yo I’m ride or die. We the woos. Five star I got it tatted on me ….'”

Pop Smoke’s mother, Audrey Jackson, went on to explain Obasi’s sentiments. Noting that as Pop’s older brother, he has certain “expectations” and also feels an “obligation,” but she has a different approach.
“If you show up, you’re supposed to be there. If you don’t show up, you’re not supposed to be there,” she said.
She also revealed that they no longer have a relationship with Steven Victor, Pop Smoke’s manager.
“Steven used to be on the board .. Steven is no longer there, so that opportunity is no longer there,” she says.
Obasi also added that he was “surprised” by Steven’s lack of support.
