PnB Rock's death has come to fans not only as a shock but a wakeup call on the safety and wellbeing of their beloved rappers. The Philly born rapper Rakim Hasheem Allen, better known as PnB Rock died on the 12 September 2022 in L.A around 1.59pm. His death is not the first time an A-list Rapper has died from gun violence as Nipsey Hussle, XXX Tentacion and Pop Smoke are also mega names taken from the hip-hop world in just the past 4 years!!!

The death of Rock will most certainly be a warning to many musicians on the dangers of fame. Rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted - "time to start reminding them over & over!!!..... You're prey!!! In a world full of predators!!! What's not clicking???" The deaths of well established rappers is alarming to say the least and gun violence is seemingly not getting enough attention.


It is reported that the rapper died as he was shot whilst eating with his girlfriend at Roscoe's House of chicken N waffles in what appeared to be a robbery, as stated by the LAPD.




It has been made known that Rock's girlfriend Steph Sibounheuang shared their location just before the shooting. This has been speculated to be the cause of their finding and fatal shooting. Cops have been inspecting the area for security cameras to find the identity of the killer and the connected getaway vehicle.


After the shooting, the rapper was said to be rushed to a local hospital in L.A, where he was pronounced dead. #RIPPnB.

Boko Haram Strikes ..... Again: Has Nigeria Grown Complacent in the Face of Terror?

The village of Mafa, in Yobe State, once again found itself the target of a brutal Boko Haram attack. On September 1, 2024, fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) descended on the village, killing more than 170 people, according to local reports. Despite previous threats, government assurances led villagers to return to their homes . In the aftermath of the attack, questions have arisen about whether Nigerians and their leaders have become desensitized to these tragic events. Mafa, like many communities in north-eastern Nigeria, has long been a battleground in the fight against Boko Haram and its splinter groups. In late July, after receiving threats from ISWAP, the village was evacuated. Residents fled to nearby Babban Gida, hoping to escape the violence that has plagued the region for over a decade. However, after receiving reassurances from local officials that the area was safe, most of Mafa's residents returned—only to be met with devastating consequenc

Africa's Complex Stance on the Israel-Palestinian Conflict

The Israel-Palestinian conflict has woven a complex web in Africa, where historical ties, evolving economic interests, and geopolitical considerations have led to a divided stance. In the 1960s, as African countries shed the yoke of brutal colonial rule, they passionately aligned with the Palestinian movement in solidarity against Israel. The struggle of Palestinians uprooted from their land and homes in 1948 resonated deeply with a continent grappling with its history of oppression and resistance. The Organization of African Unity (OAU) severed ties with Israel after the 1973 October War, reflecting the widespread sympathy for the Palestinian cause. Algeria, in particular, emerged as a prominent critic of Israel on the continent. This strong stance can be traced back to historical connections. Algeria's ties to Palestine run deep, with a historical backdrop that includes the 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence in Algiers. The shared Islamic faith and a history marred by F
