“How would you describe what was going on that night..?” Adam22 asked. “Well, I’m not finna go into details about too much, but it was a robbery. Nobody sent us, nobody did none of that. That’s all false information,” he clarified.

“It’s lot of pages that’s like giving false information, YouTube, like the vlog, false, they don’t know nothing y’all talking about. Y’all just assuming, y’all just putting sh*t together,” Raskel added.

The host then chimed in to ask about reports that circulated back then of Pop’s address being posted online. “They be putting it together with like saying that there was a bag with an address that was posted online There was a photo of him and his friend where you can see the address in the background. Is a lot of that not true?” he asked.

“That part I can’t speak about because I don’t know how the address got in. I don’t know that part, I can’t even speak on that, I can’t lie to nobody,” Blockstar replied.

The clip of the interview is now making rounds on social media, garnering lots of reactions from angry fans. “This might be the lowest level of clout chasing ever adam 22 interviewing him should be the last straw man he a clown,” someone commented.

“This man’s actions caused a man to be killed in cold blood only 4 years ago yet here he is on podcasts and social media doing a press tour getting clout and probably getting paid to talk and gloat about the situation,” another person wrote. “Anyone who gives him any serious attention is a clown.”
