Moments before Johnson was gunned down, he posted an Instagram story that shared his location, according to a YouTube account that specializes in drill rap content.
Police were reportedly offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the teen’s killer.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams recently called out a 13-year-old boy rapping about guns and murder. In the clip currently making rounds online, Eric snapped at the teenager for his vulgar lyrics condoning violence.
Also, representative Ronny Jackson, who serves Texas’ 13th congressional district, blamed rap music and video game for the tragic Uvalde, Texas Elementary school shooting.
