King and his companion, who is 29 years old, were shot during the incident.

Bieber posted on Instagram about his loss, writing, “Love you bro,” along to a picture of the two of them cuddling and a broken heart emoji. This one aches. Please remember to pray for his family. Brother, I’ll see you in heaven.

He posted the pictures with a statement that captured his utter sorrow: “I am so hurt rn I can’t even think I love you bro come back!!!!!” On Sunday, he shared a more extensive homage on Instagram, saying, “Original 1400 I love you till we meet again twin! Without @whoischrisking, I would not be in this position right now.” Redd acknowledged in the caption that King had introduced him to Milo Stokes, the founding partner of Create Music Group, and Elliot Grainge, the CEO of 10K Projects. He always exuded the nicest enthusiasm. It was evident he had a large social circle. I adore you all for standing behind my brother, who is one of my closest friends ever.

Whoa. It’s unbelievable that I’m bidding you farewell. This is very bad. Really, I’m at a loss for words. I wanted to let you know how much I loved you and how much I still cherish our walks in the grove and city.
My secondary school was there. Before everyone realized you were a true rock star, when we were infants. We were young! Additionally, you had a knack for making others laugh. No matter what room you were in, everyone was drawn to you and wanted to be friends. Your generosity was evident everywhere. Until we cross paths again, you will be missed. Rest in peace, my brother.
On April 8, King debuted “Seeing Double Seeing Double,” his last composition. The well-known rapper was in Tennessee for the Nashville Cannafest’s Friday night performance.
