In the wake of a tragic shooting incident in Nashville, Tennessee, Justin Bieber is grieving the loss of his dear friend and fellow musician, Chris King. The rapper gained recognition for his collaboration with artist Trippie Redd.
Justin shared a heartfelt video on his Instagram Stories, capturing a tender moment between him and Chris as they embraced. Beneath the touching footage, Justin wrote, “Love you, bro.” He then appealed to his fans, asking for their prayers and support for Chris’s family during this difficult time.
As the video concluded, Justin said, “See you in paradise, brother.” Trippie Redd also took to Instagram, sharing several pictures of Chris alongside Justin. Overwhelmed with grief, the rapper wrote, “I’m so hurt right now, I can’t even think. I love you, bro, come back!” accompanied by broken heart emojis.
In a late Friday night Instagram Story, Chris tagged his friend Courtland Young, who subsequently posted his own message. Courtland expressed his inability to respond to all the direct messages he received, emphasizing his strong bond with Chris and his unwavering support for him. He asserted that those who were close to Chris could understand the situation better and urged people to refrain from commenting on matters they knew nothing about.
“I can’t speak about this right now, but I’ve been in touch with his family and close friend,” Courtland added passionately. Filled with anger and sorrow, he exclaimed, “I simply witnessed a close friend take his own life, and now I’m being questioned? Get the f**k out!”
Courtland urged his followers to respect the grieving process of Chris’s family and allow the necessary arrangements to be made. DJ Scheme, a 26-year-old rapper from the industry, expressed his condolences on X (formerly known as Twitter), simply stating, “RIP.” He followed up by questioning the circumstances, exclaiming, “Damn dumbass, what the heck?” DJ Scheme concluded his message with, “Rest in peace, Chris King.”
