Chris had posted a late-night Instagram story on Friday night with a friend named Courtland Young. Later, he uploaded something to his own story, expressing his frustration about being unable to respond to every direct message. He emphasized that people in his life could tell others to be quiet about things they didn’t understand.
Courtland, who had been in contact with Chris’s family and close friends, stated that he couldn’t comment further at that time. He asked for privacy for the family to grieve.
DJ Scheme, the 26-year-old industry rapper for Chris, paid tribute to him on Twitter, saying, “RIP Chris King.” He expressed disbelief and sorrow, as did many followers who were shocked by the news.
