"I don’t even know where to start but this man got me through so much in life and the fact that he’s not here anymore kills me. My favorite artist man. Literally felt like yesterday when we were backstage talking about video games & you playing death row on a PSP. Forever gonna hold your music high brother. Thank you for all the great memories. Rest Easy King Juice. ❤️ #rip @juicewrld999"
