Social media may be calling for a boycott of TMZ over more claims that they’ve been reporting on deaths prior to loved ones being notified, but that hasn’t stopped the outlet from delivering their news. TMZ is known for sharing breaking news of celebrity deaths before any other outlet, and recently, they caught backlash after investigators publicly stated that TMZ shared news of Kobe Bryant’s death prior to investigators notifying family members. The outlet was also the first to share details about Pop Smoke’s murder, and his good friends have criticized the site, saying they had to read about the rapper’s death on social media.

Even so, TMZ returns with another update about the investigation into the home invasion that took the life of the Brooklyn rapper. According to the publication, their “family sources” have shared that Pop Smoke’s East Coast loved ones are making their way to Los Angeles to fully immerse themselves into the investigation.

“Our family sources say they had no clue that Pop Smoke had any enemies in L.A.,” TMZ wrote on Friday (February 21). “They also don’t believe someone would have followed him from New York to L.A. Since he spent so much time on the East Coast, if someone there wanted to harm him, they would have done it there.”

TMZ also reports that family members have taken it upon themselves to personally question witnesses and friends of Pop Smoke’s who were allegedly at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp’s Hollywood Hills rental property just prior to the fatal shooting. We previously shared that there is reportedly surveillance footage that seems to support the theory that Pop Smoke was targeted in the shooting and that the incident may not have been a robbery at all.

Teddi Mellencamp, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, paid her respects to Pop Smoke in an Instagram post after hearing the news that the young rapper had been shot and killed in a house owned by her husband, security firm CEO Edwin Arroyave. On Wednesday morning, shortly after the news broke that Pop Smoke was fatally gunned down during what was believed to be a home invasion robbery, Teddi took to social media to extend her condolences to everyone affected by the tragic event that took place in her home, which it appears Pop had been renting.

“Early this am we were informed by a 3rd party leasing and management company overseeing a rental home we own in Los Angeles that a shooting had taken place at the property,” Teddi wrote on the post, which just featured a photo of a heart emoji. “Foremost, we would like to extend our prayers and condolences to the family and loved ones affected by this tragic loss of life. We aren’t aware of any of the details beyond what we’ve been told or seen reported on the news and at this time we would like to refrain from commenting further as we wish for the focus to remain on the law enforcement officers who are diligently doing their jobs.”

Since the time of Teddi’s post, these law enforcement officers in question have revealed that what was initially reported as a home invasion that resulted in a fatal shooting may have been a targeted violent attack on Pop Smoke. Surveillance footage obtained by TMZ offers evidence that robbery was not the motive of the crime, and that the invaders, of which there are at least four, were after Pop Smoke specifically. He was the only victim of the gun violence, and the perpetrators did not appear to steal anything from the residence.

The hip hop community along with the rest of the world continues to mourn loss of such a young talent. Rest in peace, Pop.
