Although he is longer with us, his family, fans and celebrity friends have promised to keep his legacy live, and today they are doing just that. As social media users look back on some of his great hits, his mother Audrey Jackson appeared on the Breakfast Club this Friday alongside New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams to share the importance of him and and honoring Smoke’s legacy with an anti-gun violence initiative.

“We did a video together and I spoke with Audrey and her husband, Pop Smoke’s dad, and I walked away from there just saying this story must be told,” Adams said. “Sometimes, when we look at those who are in the record industry, we do not know the depth of the families who are involved. Audrey is an amazing educator, her husband is in the financial industry, an industry that is challenging for a Black man to navigate, and he’s extremely successful. And brother Pop Smoke had an amazing foundation that we saw in his creativity. … He was deeply rooted in strong faith, strong understanding of the English language, knowing how to put together the lyrics. And he brought his own flavor to it.”

Adams added that “we are losing too many Pop Smokes all over our country” to instances of gun violence, noting such victims are people who “could have [had] a significant impact” on the direction of the world.

Pop Smoke was just 20-years-old.
