LOS ANGELES — Please excuse Roddy Ricch for being the opposite of antisocial, to borrow the title from his breakout album. The rapper is simply concerned about the senseless violence he’s been seeing in Los Angeles.
Ricch’s comments, made Tuesday in his Instagram stories, came in the wake of PnB Rock’s Sept. 12 slaying at a Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South L.A. The Philadelphia rapper, 30, was targeted for his jewelry, with the Los Angeles Police Department suggesting that a location-tagged Instagram post from his girlfriend might have prompted the attack.
“LA! Usually I try to mind my business and let the world rotate but we gotta do better,” Ricch wrote in a post that has since expired.
