PNB Rock’s first baby mama is opening up about the pain and “what ifs” that haunt her in the wake of the rapper’s tragic death. Speaking to CBS News Philadelphia on Nov. 11, she shared her belief that her presence on that fateful day could have altered the devastating events. Her deeply personal reflection adds another layer to the heartbreak surrounding the loss of the beloved artist.
Born Rakim Hasheem Allen, PNB Rock was fatally shot during a robbery at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles on Sept. 12, 2022. The rapper was targeted for his jewelry, but the robbery turned violent, leaving fans and loved ones grieving the loss of a talent gone too soon.
At the time of the attack, he was having dinner with his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang. But very disturbing details have resurfaced from the video at the restaurant that basically imply a setup. A greeter at the restaurant welcomed in the rapper and then seemed to make a call, adding on to the suspiciousness was there was a 40-minute wait before PNB Rock’s food was served.
PNB Rock’s first baby mama, the mother of his eldest daughter, Milan, reflected on the tragedy during her emotional interview. “I just know I would’ve seen the signs,” she said. “I could’ve warned him, or maybe things wouldn’t have escalated the way they did.” While her words were not an accusation, they reflect a mother’s anguish and a haunting sense of what might have been.
Her relationship with PNB Rock, though private, was rooted in their shared love for Milan, whom they welcomed when the rapper was just 21 years old. While she has largely stayed out of the spotlight, her voice resonates deeply as fans continue to mourn the artist’s untimely death.

Stephanie Sibounheuang also faced scrutiny in the aftermath of the tragedy. Online critics accused her of unintentionally revealing their location through a social media post, prompting an outpouring of blame — even from fellow rapper Kodak Black, who later apologized. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that PNB Rock’s attackers acted on Instagram posts, including one shared by the rapper himself from the parking lot.
Sibounheuang has since spoken about her grief, sharing on Instagram, “I am 100% not okay… My man saved my life, throwing me under that table. I’m not supposed to be here, but because of him, I am.”
Justice for PNB Rock came this past September when Freddie Lee Trone, one of the key suspects, was sentenced to 31 years to life in prison for murder and conspiracy. Prosecutors revealed that Trone’s 17-year-old son was the one who pulled the trigger on his orders. Trone’s co-defendant, Tremont Jones, received a 12-year sentence for tipping off Trone about the rapper’s location.
The heartbreaking case continues to spark conversations about safety, responsibility, and the price of fame. For PNB Rock’s family, friends, and fans, his music remains a legacy to cherish, even as they grapple with unanswered questions.
As PNB Rock’s first baby mama expressed her feelings of loss and guilt, her words have added an emotional dimension to a story already marked by tragedy. While the legal proceedings offer some closure, the pain of his passing — and the lives he touched — continues to resonate.
