At some point or another in our lives, we are going to experience the tragedy of loss. Sometimes, it can happen to celebrities and the world is made aware of it.
Not all that long ago, a shooting in Nashville Tennessee left Justin Bieber and his family grieving a significant loss. A friend and fellow musician, Chris King, was shot and killed.
Chris King was a rapper who often worked along with Trippie Redd. After his death, Justin Bieber shared a video on his Instagram Stories, showing some of the moments between the two of them as they shared an embrace.
The message was relatively simple because he wrote under the footage: “Love you, bro.” He asked his fans to provide support to Chris’s family during a time of difficulty.
At the conclusion of the video, Justin said: “See you in paradise, brother.”
Trippie Redd also shared a number of pictures of Chris along with Justin on his Instagram. He wrote: “I’m so hurt right now, I can’t even think. I love you, bro, come back!”
Before dying, Chris tagged his friend, Courtland Young who then posted his own message. He expressed how he was unable to respond to the direct messages he was receiving and spoke about the bond he shared with Chris. He said that those who were close to Chris would understand the situation.
He said: “I can’t speak about this right now, but I’ve been in touch with his family and close friend. I simply witnessed a close friend take his own life, and now I’m being questioned? Get the f**k out!”
Courtland asked for some respect and privacy during the grieving process to allow the family to make necessary arrangements. Another rapper, DJ Scheme also expressed his condolences on Twitter, sharing the simple message, RIP.
People from everywhere were sharing their disbelief after hearing the news of his passing. Undoubtedly, his loss will have an impact on the music community, on Justin Bieber, and on those who were close to him.
