. Allen was with his girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported. Sibounheuang had posted a location-tagged photo to Instagram beforePolice told the Times that Allen was targeted for his jewelry. As of Thursday, there had been no arrests.
Allen grew up running the streets, getting his eventual performer name from the corner of Pastorius and Baynton Streets. He was one of five boys raised by a single mother, Hanunah, who instilled in him a love and appreciation of Philly soul and classic hip-hop, even naming him after legendary rapper Rakim.
After run-ins with the law when he was younger, Allen used his experiences to shape his art and ultimately dedicated himself to helping younger generations, said Johnson. In an interview, Johnson recalled meeting Allen years ago at a Stop the Violence assembly at Universal Audenried Charter School and being impressed by the musician’s dedication to guiding young people.
“I was impressed with how he used his platform to address the issue of gun violence in Philadelphia and he specifically talked about the issue of gun violence, losing family to gun violence and how people need to put the guns down in Philadelphia,” said Johnson.Staff writer Anna Orso contributed to this article
