Online, Danquah has made an effort to refute the rumors, claiming that he had nothing to do with the murder and that he and PNB Rock were friendly.
In an interview posted on the Drea O Show YouTube channel, he claimed, “I didn’t have anything to do with it. I wasn’t there, I didn’t make an ‘OG phone call’ or anything."
Danquah revealed to the show's host Drea Oppan that he and PNB Rock had a Twitter argument last year over the rapper's use of a picture from the uprising following the death of George Floyd, which Danquah had previously used for a shirt design that became well-known in Minneapolis, per Rolling Stone.

A Minnesota man has come forward to clear his reputation following the death of Philadelphia rapper PNB Rock in Los Angeles earlier this month, Rolling Stone reports.
Emmanul Danquah, a media personality and cameraman from Minneapolis, engaged PNB Rock in two Instagram Live fights on a purportedly stolen shirt design.
Days after PNB Rock was shot and killed while eating at a South LA Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, the videos were renamed and posted on YouTube and social media with sensationalist headlines painting him as the murderer.
Despite the fact that there is no proof linking Danquah to the slaying, YouTubers and rap blog accounts choose to portray their argument from 2021 as having occurred before PNB Rock's shooting.
