He had previously charted as a featured artist on the Jackboys track 'Gatti.' During his verse, Pop Smoke pledges to 'raise hell' until. This week brought another posthumous honor for Pop Smoke: a 2021 Grammy nomination for Dior as Best Rap Song. Following Smoke's death, 'Dior' became his first solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Young Thug and Pusha T exchanged heated words over a song both appeared on after Pusha used his verse to continue dissing Drake, while PopвЂ™s final verses appeared on projects from the likes of Nav, French Montana, and more. Pop Smoke, real name Bashar Barakah Jackson, was fatally shot during a home invasion in Hollywood Hills on February 19, 2020. In the wake of his death, Pop Smoke became an icon around which the burgeoning New York drill scene began to rally, as the gruff-voiced 20-year-oldвЂ™s last few recorded verses turned into a hot commodity for clout-seeking majors. The beat was used during the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher. It also appears on the soundtrack of the recently released NBA 2K21. The song oddly became an unofficial protest anthem, despite not addressing police brutality or racism, as protestors played the song during demonstrations in Seattle and New York City. That album, Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon, was released posthumously and contained вЂњDiorвЂќ as a bonus track, although the song had previously served as the single for Pop SmokeвЂ™s mixtape Meet the Woo 2 after originally appearing on the tapeвЂ™s predecessor six months before. Although he was no longer around to campaign on his own behalf, late Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke was able to secure a posthumous 2021 Grammy Award nomination for his summer single вЂњDior.вЂќ Pop Smoke was killed in February of this year during a home invasion as he rode the success of his summer 2019 hit вЂњ Welcome To The PartyвЂќ and prepared for the release of his debut album.
