ALBAWABA - Following the death of his longtime friend and fellow rapper Chris King over the weekend, Justin Bieber resorted to Instagram on Saturday to offer his condolences. 

Earlier this week, the 30-year-old pop musician was seen in West Hollywood. He took to Instagram Stories to share a photo from December 2023, which showed him and King having a tender hug.

"Love you, bro.," Bieber wrote in his Instagram Story. That one aches. We ask that you pray for his loved ones. Dear brother, I hope to see you in heaven. In the video clip, which King had published on December 1, he reflected on his time spent living with Bieber over ten years ago; it was included in the post. 

Fun fact: I stayed at my brother's cot for over a year and a half nearly a decade ago, as stated in the title. I am relieved that some individuals will never change. Warm regards, always considered family. Hey there, @justinbieber! Chris King's best friend and fellow rapper Trippie Redd verified the news of King's death on social media. 

Even while no one knows for sure what happened, rumors have circulated that he was shot and killed in Nashville, Tennessee.
