  • Announced by his older brother Obasi Jackson, the upcoming establishment is officially named Pop’s Place

Pop Smoke‘s family and his brother, Obasi Jackson, have officially announced the upcoming launch of Pop’s Place, a brand-new coffee shop. Arriving over six years after the Brooklyn rapper’s tragic passing in Los Angeles, the new business venture serves as a permanent homage to his enduring musical and cultural legacy.

Situated in the heart of the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York — the very neighborhood that raised the late artist and heavily influenced his distinct sound — Pop’s Place aims to be a cornerstone for the local community.

The establishment of Pop’s Place not only solidifies the rapper’s towering impact on his hometown but also creates a physical gathering space for fans and loved ones to celebrate his memory.
