He went on to also reveal the two grew up together and she was a member of a rap girl group he formed. “I had fun making you, Kim, Georgia and @qtpepsi rehearse the routines I was writing, after that, you was influenced by music for real, then years after that, you linked up with @famem.o.p @billydanzem.o.p the great hip hop group M.O.P.” Soon news of her passing spread, prompting her peers to celebrate her life.
