Tributes to Lil Keed from fans, friends, and family are pouring in on social media. According to Variety, the rapper is survived by his girlfriend Quana Bandz and their three-year-old Naychur. Bandz shared her grief in a long post on social media that indicated she was pregnant. Bandz shared a heart-wrenching video of the couple on Instagram, captioning: “I can’t breathe right sleep right nothing I don’t even wanna talk to nobody Keed I can’t take this why you leave US bru. What am I supposed to tell Naychur? What am I gone tell our new baby ?” She also somberly recalled telling Keed “the other day if you left me with these two kids I was gone [lose] my mind.”
DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia was shocked to learn of Keed’s death, tweeting: “Me & lil bro just recorded!! We did one for his new album but before he left the studio he dropped a quick verse and said ‘Thats for u Paul’ … Then walked out.” Our Generation Music tweeted: “We just spoke with him last year. One of the most inspiring individuals we’ve had on. Long live Keed.” But one tweet seemed to sum up the grief for the rapper: “Rest in Peace to #LilKeed … So sad to see a young man lose his life before getting to fully live it.” Our thoughts are with Keed’s family and friends after this tragic loss.
