He wrote that the two had spoken about being friends until they were old and in an instant, everything changed on Sunday.

Roc's post, he shared several photos of the two working together, writing the following:

"Never in a million years I thought I would be writing some shit like this ... we haven’t made a 100 Million yet ... we was suppose to grow old and I call u big nose shoot jokes on you all day... but instead I’m here in tears writing this I wish I was there I would switch places with you any day the world need you here I’m so confused , lost , hurt I lost a brother , best friend, a mentor all I can here you saying now is If it was me, I would tell you, 'N***a, live your life and grow.'"
