“I lost my brother today and it’s the worst feeling in the world,” Taylor Maglin, the rapper’s manager, wrote on Facebook. “He was destined for greatness and he wanted the best for his friends, family and community. We lost a great person today, but just know I will do everything in my power to make his memory live on forever. Love you bro.”
