Justin Bieber took to Instagram on Saturday to pay tribute to rapper and friend Chris King, who died over the weekend.
The 30-year-old singer — who was seen in West Hollywood this week — used the app’s Stories feature to share a December 2023 post from the California-bred music artist that showed them sharing a hug.
Bieber wrote over the post, ‘Love you bro. This one hurts. Please keep his family in your prayers. See you in paradise brother.’
King had shared a video clip of him and the Canadian pop star on December 1 with a caption that said, ‘fun fact: i lived at my brother krib for a full year and a half almost 10 years ago. glad some people never change no matter what. all love, forever extended family. @justinbieber.’
Rapper Trippie Redd, who was best friends with Chris, confirmed his death online. Though details about his sudden passing are unknown, it’s been speculated that Chris’ death was the result of an alleged shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.
