However, not every attempt to immortalize and celebrate his memory has gone over particularly well. On one hand, some people <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/615567-pop-smokes-mural-reportedly-vandalized" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> disrespectfully vandalized The Woo’s mural </a> last December to many’s outrage. Still, a new mural has people feeling heated for other, albeit much less overtly disrespectful reasons. On Monday (April 17), an unknown mural made rounds on social media, for which people don’t know the location, artist, or if it was even meant to resemble Pop. However, the details certainly match up, even if many fans think it looks nothing like the rapper. Of course, Twitter had a field day reacting to this news, either making jokes about it or expressing straight up disgust. Still, since it’s unclear where this mural is, it’s not like people can go out and ask around its location to see who could explain some more. Despite the confusion, it looks to be inside a store, so take that hint and run with it if you’re in the New York area. Also, this news comes shortly after a suspect in his murder <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/656308-pop-smoke-murder-suspect-pleads-guilty-sentenced-to-4-years-report" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> pleaded guilty </a> to involuntary manslaughter and received a sentence of four years and two months in juvenile detention. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pop-smoke-mural-gets-blasted-online"> Pop Smoke Mural Gets Blasted Online </h2><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> New Pop Smoke mural revealed 🙏🎨 <a href="https://t.co/meB3JtnrmN" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/meB3JtnrmN </a> — Daily Loud (@DailyLoud) <a href="https://twitter.com/DailyLoud/status/1647946573957963776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> April 17, 2023 </a></blockquote></figure> Even though this mural isn’t the best look for Pop Smoke’s legacy, given that his fans seem to hate it, the New York legend lives on in many other ways. One of those is his strong connections to other heavy-hitters in the industry who tell stories of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/432870-fivio-foreign-reflects-on-pop-smokes-death-it-hit-everybody-hard-news" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> what a pleasure he was to work with </a> . “I f***ed with Pop Smoke and the whole Drill sound,” <a class="text-word" href="/profile/Polo-G" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Polo G </a> said on the Full Send podcast.&nbsp;“You know, coming from Chicago, that’s&nbsp;where that s**t started at. So, I really tapped into they s**t. I hit up Pop like, ‘Yo, let’s do this.’ He had been hitting me up in the past, but before I knew who he was. And then, when I seen they wave going strong, I hit him like, ‘Yo, I f**k with y’all s**t. Let’s do something.’” Polo was asked if he worked with Pop in the studio. “The craziest thing, I worked with him right before he passed,” he continued. “I was in the studio with him. He said he was leaving to L.A. I stayed in New York an extra day to make sure Fivio [Foreign] laid his verse [for ‘Clueless’]. And Pop, a contact was telling me Pop wanted to get in the stu in L.A. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/636270-polo-g-was-supposed-to-be-with-pop-smoke-the-day-he-died" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> the night he passed </a> . ‘Cause I live there, he live there. We was supposed to get up.” Furthermore, he shared that Pop Smoke asked Polo for the name of a popular Chicago spot to shout out in his verse, and he did exactly that.

Many people believe that a new rendition of the late rapper's likeness in an unknown location looks absolutely nothing like him.
