RAP Music = Shit
Local Rapper WopBlock J4 Executed Outside Rival’s Apartment In St. Louis
The shooting happened February 28, 2026, in the Peabody Darst Webbe neighborhood. Video shows WopBlock J4 dressed in all black, approaching the unit while holding his phone. He appears unarmed as he knocks several times.
Seconds later, gunfire erupts from inside the residence. The rapper collapses on the porch after being hit multiple times. The person believed to be responsible has been identified online as rival “Slapperson,” though authorities have not officially confirmed that identification.
The footage shows the full sequence clearly in daylight and has since spread rapidly online, fueling reactions across the St. Louis rap scene.
Officers responded to the 1200 block of South 13th Street, directly across from Peabody Elementary School, and found the victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators say the killing may be tied to ongoing rivalries within the local drill scene. WopBlock J4 maintained close ties with artist Mo P and the 1448 crew, which has clashed with affiliates from the French Town set.
One person is currently in custody for questioning, while homicide detectives continue to pursue leads.
No formal charges have been announced. The investigation remains ongoing.
Why did he approach the door instead of shooting? And why did he have a phone in his hand, instead of a gun? Did he want to take pictures of his rival or something? Was his rival THAT handsome? I don't understand some gangsters sometimes....
They hate being stereotyped, yet live up to them every single day. The #1 killer of a black male 14-40 in America is another black male, you can google it.
"Rocket scientist kills nuclear physicist in shooting"
How pathetic.
As funny as it sounds WopBlock J4 has been ass wooped around the block with a hail of bullet slaps across the face by Slapperson
Damn, that guy was not playing around. Idk what the other guy was expecting to do with his phone out. I’m guessing he was going to post himself walking up to his enemy and talk shit to him.
“Detectives continue to pursue leads”
For what? A second gunman?
“No formal charges have been announced”
Why the fuck not? There’s a video!
Trying to be a rapper while living as a trans black man in Missouri must've been tough.
"WopBlock J4" killed by his rival, "Slapperson." How do they come up with these ridiculous names?
