Pop Smoke's NYPD Gang Investigation
Update: 2025-11-28
Description
Pop Smoke, a rising rap star, was under NYPD investigation for gang ties before his 2020 death. The probe focused on Brooklyn gangs, including G-Stone Crips, with whom he was allegedly linked. The NYPDs interest grew as his career took off, particularly after his arrest for transporting a stolen car. The investigation aimed to discourage artists with rising profiles from associating with gangs. However, Pop Smoke was killed before the case could fully develop, and his death led to increased gang activity at Pop Smoke Day events in his hometown.
