Pop Smoke's Mom Discusses Son's Convicted Killer Appearing in Interviews: 'Life Is Done for Him'

Pop Smoke is still making headlines.

Earlier this month, one of the late rapper’s convicted killers—who goes by Blockstar—was released from jail and went on to appear on the No Jumper podcast to discuss the murder.

On Wednesday, Pop Smoke’s mother, Audrey Jackson shared what she thinks of Blockstar doing interviews.

"I'm not tuned in to that," Jackson said on the Tap in With TT podcast, at around the 18:40 mark. "It's not that I'm closing it out. It's just that it's not a part of my world. So I have people who will come and say, 'Have you heard?'"

Jackson explained that she didn’t even know about the interview. "I've been told that he's been … disrespectful, and I gotta let that go because that'll eat me up. Because the bottom line is your life is over. His life is finished. He's living, but if that's his approach to what he's done, life is done for him."

In the beginning of July, Blockstar appeared on No Jumper to discuss his feelings about Pop Smoke’s murder.

“I’m not sorry about nothing,” he said. “It should’ve never happened, but I ain’t sorry. If I could go back, I’d go back. But I ain’t sorry. People die every day. [Pop Smoke] was rapping about it. All types of stuff. So, I ain’t sorry about it."

When Adam22 was put on blast for hosting Blockstar—particularly by Akademiks—the No Jumper host explained that he didn’t conduct the interview “because I don’t care,” but that he looks at it as “an important historical record” in connection with “one of the most tragic, insane stories in rap history.”

Pop Smoke was fatally shot in Los Angeles on Feb. 19, 2020, in a home invasion. Five people were subsequently arrested in connection to his death, including Blockstar who was 15 years old at the time. He’s now 19 and was released from juvenile detention earlier this month after serving a four-year sentence.
