You went from a complete stranger to one of my closest confidants within weeks. There is nowhere I entered that you and your lens didn’t enter,” Davido wrote.
“I can’t even believe I’m writing a tribute to you right now wtf we still had so much more to do. Your workshops. Your studios. Trips. Shows. Scenes. Moments. All of it. I can’t believe you didn’t give me the chance to fulfill the rest of my promises to you. my heart is so heavy right now and I’m just so grateful I met you.
“You truly were the best kid. A rare breed and I’m so grateful that we got to travel the world and create so many iconic moments with you.
