St. Louis native Huey, best known for his hit song “Pop, Lock and Drop It,” has reportedly passed at the age of 31.
According to local news, the rapper, whose real name is Lawrence Franks Jr., was the victim of a double shooting in Kinloch. The incident occurred around 11:00 pm, outside of a home in the 8100 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard near Mable Avenue.
