“I cant even believe this. We were just talking last week about working on a song together and now you’re gone. You will be missed."
Post Malone tweeted: “In the short time that i knew you, you were a great friend to me and a great person. your music changed the world and it'll never be the same. i love you bud. Forever.”
Diplo said Lil Peep “had so much more to do man he was constantly inspiring me.”
