“Congratulate by @akaworldwide. I miss you dude. The lack of your physical presence is so felt … to many and to so many others. Thank you for the music and above all the friendship. You’re still so alive in so many ways. Long live SUPA MEGA long live.”

The emotional post quickly resonated with fans, many of whom flooded the comments section with love and nostalgia for the late rapper.
