The melody of a life brutally silenced. That’s what haunts Amelia Rose, the woman who witnessed the chilling demise of rising hip-hop star Pop Smoke. In an emotional revelation on WE tv’s “Hip Hop Homicides,” she relives the night that shattered both her world and the budding music scene.
February 2020. A rented haven in Los Angeles turns into a scene of terror.

His answer, a mere echo in the bathroom he entered moments before, seals his fate. Screams pierce the air as intruders storm in. A struggle, then the agonizing drag downstairs. Gunshots erupt, tearing through hope, through life. Rose rushes to his side, desperate pleas swallowed by the deafening silence. He is gone, a promising future stolen in a heartbeat.
The trauma lingers. Nightmares replay the horror, flashbacks ambush her sanity. But amidst the fear, a flicker of courage. Rose speaks, her voice cracking with pain, yet unwavering in its purpose – to honor Pop Smoke’s memory and seek justice.
His killer, Corey Walker, faces the ultimate penalty if convicted. The wheels of justice turn slowly. The trial is delayed once more. Yet, the quest for accountability continues.
Pop Smoke, more than just a name. A voice silenced, but its power resonates. His music, a blend of gritty drill and infectious trap, lives on. “Meet the Woo,” his posthumous album, echoes his talent, topping charts and hearts. Collaborations with giants like Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj stand as testaments to his potential, tragically unfulfilled.
His death, a ripple of grief that swept through the industry and fans alike. Tributes pour in, praising his raw talent and the void he left. But his legacy isn’t confined to music. It’s a fight for justice, a call for safety, a whisper of hope that his story won’t be silenced.
Pop Smoke’s light may have been extinguished, but its glow remains, a beacon for those seeking answers and fighting for a future where young dreams don’t end in gunshots. His story, a chilling reminder, but also a powerful call to action.
