The girlfriend of slain rapper PnB Rock hailed him as a hero in her first public comments since he was gunned down inside a California restaurant last month.

Stephanie Sibounheuang was eating lunch with PnB Rock — whose real name is Rakim Hasheem Allen — at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles in the moments before he was shot on Sept. 12. Police said the pair were approached by a robber, who demanded PnB hand over some valuable items, before shooting him “multiple times.”

The rapper, best known for his 2016 hit song “Selfish,” was transported to a hospital but did not survive his injuries. He was 30 years old.

“I am 100% not okay,” Sibounheuang wrote on Instagram, alongside a video montage featuring some the special moments she shared with PnB.

“My man saved my life, Throwing me under that table. I’m not supposed to be here but bc of him. I am. No one would be able to handle this. TBH, I can’t even handle this,” she continued.

“To witness what I saw and to keep seeing it in my head, to being forced out the restaurant, to not be able to go in the ambulance or the hospital, Car keys, purse and my phone taken from me, forced in the back of a police car, locked in an interrogation room all night, while all this is going on and to be the last person in this world to know my man didn’t make it after having the faith and confidence that he was.”

Sibounheuang, who shares a 2-year-old daughter Xuri with the late artist, also revealed she’d been dreaming of a future with PnB Rock and touched on how solid their relationship had been.

“I felt this time in my relationship everything was finally perfect for our family. My man had gave his self to GOD. Did a complete 360. He was loyal. He was patient. He was teachable and a teacher. I was finally letting the past go, and letting him show up as his changed self,” she said.

“My last day with u. I told you ‘I know you my husband. I know you my soulmate.’”

Sibounheuang ended her post by writing, “Pain is real. No matter how rich u are, how famous u are, how spiritual u are. Some pain is inevitable.”

Three people have since been charged in connection with the rapper’s slaying. Freddie Trone and his son, who is a minor, are each facing counts of murder conspiracy to commit robbery and second-degree robbery. Shauntel Trone faces one count of being an accessory after the fact to the killing.
