Snitching allegations

edit

On December 28, 2020, following the release of alleged paperwork, rumors started circulating that Popp Hunna told information to the police after witnessing a murder at the age of 14. The paperwork alleged that in 2015, Popp Hunna provided authorities with information surrounding the murder of a classmate of which he and his mother were witnesses.[3] The rumors allegedly prompted American rapper Lil Uzi Vert to tell the rapper to remove him from his latest EP via direct message on Instagram.[8] Following the alleged action by Lil Uzi Vert, American rapper Trippie Redd expressed his discontent towards Popp Hunna commenting "Salute @liluzivert you did wtf you was suppose to do ! I didn’t snitch at 12 yrs old so ain’t no justification to him snitching at 14 #FuckThat" on his Twitter account and showing his support to Lil Uzi Vert's alleged reaction.[9] American rapper Lil Tjay also shared his discontent towards Popp Hunna's alleged actions and commented on his Instagram account that his age was not an excuse.[10] On December 29, 2020, Popp Hunna reacted to the rumors by attacking the validity of the paperwork and seemingly calling it fake in an Instagram post.[11] In January 2022, Popp Hunna appeared on DJ Akademiks' podcast Off the Record and expressed his feelings on the situation, confronting the reaction by American rappers Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd[12]

I'm ready.
