Justin Bieber, Machine Gun Kelly, and other celebrities took to social media to pay heartfelt tribute to rapper Chris King after he was shot dead in Nashville over the weekend. King shared a special bond with Bieber as they grew up together and used to be roommates at one point. “Love you, bro. This one hurts,” Justin wrote on his Instagram Stories sharing a picture of the two on Saturday, April 20. “Please keep his family in your prayers. See you in paradise brother.” This friendship goes long back because in December, the late rapper, 32, shared a photo and video with Bieber, 30, on Instagram and revealed that the two used to be roommates. The CEO and founder of Snotty Nose Records shared that he and the ‘Peaches’ singer used to live together over a decade ago.
“fun fact: I lived at my brother’s krib for a full year and a half almost 10 years ago. Glad some people never change no matter what. All love, forever extended family. @justinbieber,” King captioned his post. He died from fatal injuries sustained during a shooting in Nashville on 20 April, at the age of 32. The rapper, accompanied by two friends, was shot in an armed robbery between Hayes and Church Streets in Nashville. Until now there are three suspects in the incident.
King was also a close friend and collaborator of Trippie Redd, who also joined social media to pay tribute to the late rapper. Trippie Redd, 24, wrote on social media that he would be where he is now without the help and support from King. “I am so hurt rn I can’t even think I love you bro come back!!!!! 😪😪😪 @whoischrisking💔I can’t catch a break 🤮💔💔💔💔💔,” he captioned his post while writing in another that King “had the best energy always.” he also said he would “not be where I am today without [King],” as King introduced him to people like record executive Elliot Grainge. Machine Gun Kelly was also another celebrity who joined people in grieving and paying tribute to the late rapper. He commented, “Chris was rare 🕊️🤧💔.”

King, born Christopher Cheeks, was shot and killed in an alleyway while he was hanging out with friends. The Metro Nashville Police Department said his 29-year-old friend was also shot but survived his injuries. “Cheeks was at the location with a group of friends when three men began interacting with the group,” the release said. “The 29-year-old victim reported the group was hanging out cordially for some time before the three suspects attempted to rob his group of friends. It was then that he heard gunfire and realized he was struck.”
