Pop Smoke’s Brother Speaks On Threats Against Rapper, Finds It ‘Mind-Boggling’ He Was Without Security
While appearing on an episode of ‘Peace of Mind with Taraji,’ Pop Smoke‘s brother, Obasi Jackson, speaks on his the ample death threats against the rapper, full name Bashar Jackson, adding that he finds it “mind-boggling” that he was a superstar traveling without security.
Jackson tells host Taraji P. Henson, “All of that stuff he went through, it was just—there was a time when he went through a situation where people would put him down and count him out. There was a lot of threats on his life because of that. People were trying to figure out where the threats were coming from. I didn’t think that anybody would do that and it’s just a lot that goes into it.”

Speaking on the lack of security his brother had, Jackson continues, “You go out there with no security. I’m just like, I can’t even fathom. It’s mind-boggling to me that someone would let a superstar go out with no security. That still plays on my mind. That just don’t make no sense. So, I don’t wanna point fingers, that’s not who I am as a person, but the truth is what the truth is and that’s something that bothers me.”
