The Canadian artist and content creator iamTresor pays tribute to the late Pop Smoke with “The Devil Want Smoke,” where he impersonates the New York-based rapper while imagining him turning into…a Christian pastor.

The song stems from a short video Tresor had posted on social media at the start of October 2021, which rapidly became popular and gained even more attention when an animator added his own contribution to the clip. The content creator eventually decided to release the full version of the track a few days later, on October 12: him and Jk D Animator would then work together to provide the parody with an official music video.

It’s worth noticing that, although faith wasn’t necessarily a key theme of his music, Pop Smoke was first introduced to music by singing in his church choir as a child, and started following the principles of Islam shortly before his murder, according to his older brother Obasi. He mentioned Allah on a frequent basis in his songs, with notable examples being “Be Clearr,” Jay Gwuapo’s “Black Mask” and “More Time.”
