Pop Smoke gathered broad consideration a year ago on the quality of his single "Welcome to the Party." The breakout hit was remixed by ASAP Ferg, Meek Mill, Pusha T and others, and Pop Smoke debuted an authority remix highlighting Nicki Minaj a while after the first rendition's April 2019 discharge.
Minaj was among the craftsmen who grieved Pop Smoke following updates on his passing. It's hazy what she was alluding to with "jealousy," yet vocalist Kehlani shared a comparative post, tweeting, "jealousy is terrifying.”
