Up-and-coming rapper Jimmy Wopo was killed in a drive-by shooting in Pittsburgh Monday, the Allegheny medical examiner told the Daily News.

He was 21.

Wopo, whose real name is Travon Smart, was shot in the Pennsylvania city’s Middle Hill neighborhood at around 4 p.m., Pittsburgh police said. He died at the hospital, while another unidentified victim was in stable condition.

“I lost my brother today and it’s the worst feeling in the world,” Taylor Maglin, the rapper’s manager, wrote on Facebook. “He was destined for greatness and he wanted the best for his friends, family and community. We lost a great person today, but just know I will do everything in my power to make his memory live on forever. Love you bro.”

Wopo, whose real name is Travon Smart, was best known for his 2016 single “Elm Street,” which he followed with his debut mixtape, “Woponese,” in 2016 and “Jordan Kobe” a year later.

Yes, but the fact is he had both and people knew who he was. He wasn’t a celebrity and known by most of us, but some knew who he was.
I'm not down playing the young brotha, just stating that any one can be considered a rapper these days and I hate that the media labels every nigga that gets killed violently a rapper.

Trust me I feel you. Like I said, I had never heard of him and they do like to call a person with a vid on YouTube a “Rapper”.
