PnB Rock, the Philadelphia rapper best known for his 2016 hit “Selfish,” was fatally shot during a robbery at the Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles on Monday afternoon, law enforcement sources told The Times.

Los Angeles police Capt. Kelly Muniz said a shooting took place at 1:15 p.m. at the famous eatery on Main Street and Manchester Avenue. She would not identify the victim.

Rock, 30, whose real name was Rakim Allen, had been at the restaurant with his girlfriend, who had posted a location-tagged photo in a since-deleted Instagram post.

Muniz said a suspect brandished a firearm inside the restaurant and demanded items from the victim. Sources told The Times that Rock was targeted for his jewelry.

3. That gold New Lane chain cost him $50,000.

He was also known for wearing a diamond studded Cartier on one wrist and a sapphire studded Rolex on the other.

Nobody deserves to be shot for their jewelry, but walking around with almost a quarter million dollars on your body isn't the easiest way to avoid that.

Heck, hire some armed bodyguards at least.

5. Blaming the victim are we?

Was his girlfriend's skirt too short as well?
