While referring to Rico Swavey as a sweet boy and a rare gem, the brand influencer wrote;

“This is the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a long time. Deepest pain I’ve felt since I lost my mother. I prayed, I was hopeful, I woke up expecting some good news but God in his infinite wisdom knows best.

“I’m grateful for all the Joy you brought me, I’m grateful to have experienced you. Every single time the world is against me, you’re there defending and encouraging me.

You’ve been there every step of the way.. My sweet boy, a rare gem, happiest person I know.. I lost my brother and life would never be the same without you. Rest well baby 🕊♥️♥️”
