Famous was killed in Power Book III: Raising Kanan as part of a complex plot involving several characters, but the primary killers were Pop and Snaps. They orchestrated the murder to manipulate Kanan and remove Famous without leaving direct evidence linking them to the crime
. However, there are multiple theories and suspects discussed by fans and within the show’s storyline:
- Marvin Thomas, Kanan's uncle, is widely suspected and considered a key figure in carrying out the execution of Famous, reportedly following orders from Raq, Kanan's mother, who saw Famous as a liability
- Raq, the ruthless matriarch, is believed by some to have orchestrated the killing to maintain control and eliminate threats within her family business
- Other suspects include Unique, a rival gang leader, and Lulu, Kanan’s older uncle, but these are more speculative theories discussed by fans
In summary, while Pop and Snaps physically killed Famous, Marvin and Raq are heavily implicated as the masterminds behind the murder, with the motive tied to power struggles and protecting the family's criminal operations
