If I wasn’t spiritual, I could kill myself (but then I’ll go to hell and my man not there) My man saved my life, Throwing me under that table. I’m not supposed to be here but bc of him. I am. No one would be able to handle this. TBH, I can’t even handle this."The post continued, "to witness what I saw and to keep seeing it in my head, to being forced out the restaurant, to not be able to go in the ambulance or the hospital, Car keys, purse and my phone taken from me, forced in the back of a police car, locked in an interrogation room all night, while all this is going on and to be the last person in this world to know my man didn’t make it after having the faith and confidence that he was."She ended the post asking for strength to carry on. "I will never understand a loss so close. I feel so empty. My world is dark now. My heart is broken for the kids. Cover me with strength, grace, and vision to carry on for the family. Shed light on this world in such dark times. Let your power overcome evil. Pain is real. No matter how rich u are, how famous u are, how spiritual u are. Some pain is inevitable."https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cjqc8IWpKGh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkPnB Rock, 30, was tragically gunned down while dining at a Roscoe’s Chicken ‘n Waffles in South Los Angeles with his lady.

A judge found that Cam’s song was similar to the mainstream one. A judge awarded Cam over $1.4 million, plus legal expenses. He also received writer’s credit for royalties at 50% in perpetuity from YFN Lucci and PnB Rock, Hip Hop N’ More reports.In a <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/rackboy-cam-awarded-1-7-million-copyright-infringement-yfn-lucci-pnb-rock-everyday-we-lit">statement</a>, Rackboy said, “This has been a very lengthy and tedious process.

Photo credit – Michael Kovac/GettyImagesPnB Rock has landed himself in some trouble. The Philly rapper was busted in Burbank, CA for driving under the influence after he completely wrecked his white BMW. Allegedly, he was engaged in a street race against a silver and blue Rolls Royce Wraith, going about 100 mph, before he plowed into 3 parked cars causing his BMW to flip onto its side. A woman was reportedly inside one of the cars PnB hit but she is said to have escaped with only minor injuries. Officers are alleging PnB Rock smelled of weed upon approaching him and did find a small amount of marijuana on him. He was arrested for DUI and reckless driving but later released on $100,000 bail.
