Chris King, a close friend of Justin Bieber and a collaborator with Trippie Redd, was killed early on Saturday night in Nashville, according to police information. He was 32.
The actor, born Christopher Cheeks, was in an alley between Hayes and Church streets in Nashville at 2: 30 a. m. with a 29- year- aged man ( who was not named ) when, according to Nashville police, three men attempted to rob them. Both King and the 29- yr- older man were shot in the encounter, though the 29- year- ancient survived.
King was discovered in the Hayes Street Hotel driving door, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he passed away, and was later brought there.
Bieber, a former roommate of King’s, reposted a photo of the two to Instagram, writing” Love you mate. This single hurts. Choose keep his family in your blessings. See you in heaven nephew”.
Trippie Redd also expressed grief over the passing of his friend, saying,” I am so hurt rn I ca n’t even think I love you bro come back!!! I ca n’t catch a break”.
” I would not be where I am currently without @whoischrisking”, he continued. He always had the best energy, and it shows how much I love you men for supporting one of my brother’s best friends previously.
Over a century- much job, King released scores of mixtapes and LPs, including the lengthy- running” Luck of the Snotty” line. King released a new single,” Seeing Double Seeing Double”, on April 8.
