30-year-old former Atlantic Records artist PnB Rock died following a shooting at Los Angeles’s famous restaurant Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles on Main Street and Manchester Avenue.
According to reports, the rapper, whose real name is Rakim Hasheem Allen, was dining with his girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang when the alleged killer attempted to rob him of his jewelry and other possessions.
In a now deleted post on Instagram, Sibounheuang may have publicized their location which possibly allowed the killer to find them.
The artist from Philadelphia was signed to Atlantic Records in 2015 after releasing his Real N*gga Bangaz mixtape series. His debut studio album, Catch These Vibes, reached as high as #17 on the Billboard 200 with his sophomore project, TrapStar Turnt PopStar debuting at #4.
The rapper has reportedly been independent since January of this year.
No one has been arrested or detained at this time.
