Several music stars have penned touching tributes to the rapper while demanding justice in the case.
Burna Boy had earlier said the rapper’s death is a regret he has to live with.
“I wish he didn’t end like this. Another regret I gotta live with,” he had written.
“Took me out of a positive mood/ Took me back to the day when you saw my gun and you said I was wild.
“Then I told you you should have one too Cuz it weren’t like ni**az wasn’t dying but I thought you knew.
“And I ain’t really f**k wit you But I didn’t want you dead, it was like that with me and you, Wicked! hope they catch whoever did you wicked.”
