Chris King, a friend in the music business, is said to have been shot and killed in Nashville, Tennessee.

Justin Bieber is saddened by the death.

The rapper became famous when he worked with Trippie Redd.

Chris and Justin were hugging each other in a video that Justin shared on his Instagram Stories.

He wrote, “Love you, bro,” under the picture.

That one hurts. Please pray for his family, Justin told those who follow him.

“See you in paradise, brother,” Justin said as he left.

Trippie Redd put up a bunch of pictures on Instagram of Chris and Justin together.

The rapper said, “I’m so hurt right now I can’t even think.”

“I love you, bro, come back!” Trippie Red shared that she added a bunch of broken heart emojis.

GOOD FRIENDS
A friend of Chris’s who was tagged in his Instagram Story from late Friday night wrote something on his own story.

“I can’t answer all of your direct messages… “I was his friend and artist, and I had his back,” he said.

“You can tell everyone in his life to shut up about crap you don’t know,” the musician said.

“I can’t speak on this [right now] but I’ve been on the phone with his family and close friend,” Courtland said.

“You want to question me after seeing a close friend take his own life?” “Get the f**k out!” he yelled.

“Let his family grieve while things get worked out,” he told those who followed him.

RIP, 26-year-old Industry rapper DJ Scheme wrote on X (which used to be Twitter) to mourn Chris’s death.

He said, “Damn dawg, wtf.”

“RIP Chris King,” DJ Scheme said.

A lot of followers talked about how shocked they were by the terrible news.

“What?!?” yelled one X user.

Someone else asked, “Damn, is it real, bro?”

The same user said, “I can’t believe this s**t.”

A third said, “No way… RIP, man.”
