“Praying for the family of Tyre Nichols,” the rapper’s post read. “Also praying for our city. #JusticeForTyre.” Also, he captioned it with the same hashtag and added some emojis, including open hands and praying hands.

Moreover, the police department fired five Memphis police officers from their post following a traffic stop. According to the department’s official statement, a “confrontation” occurred during the stop that caused Nichols to flee. Later, a second “confrontation” took place when authorities caught up to him.

“Our son ran because he was scared for his life,” his stepfather Rodney Wells told reporters. “And when you see the video you’ll see why he was scared for his life.”

Furthermore, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement on Tyre Nichols’ death.

“Tyre’s family deserves a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his death,” the statement read. “As Americans grieve, the Department of Justice conducts its investigation, and state authorities continue their work, I join Tyre’s family in calling for peaceful protest. Outrage is understandable, but violence is never acceptable. Violence is destructive and against the law. It has no place in peaceful protests seeking justice.”

Also, attorney Ben Crump called footage from the January 7th stop “appalling” in a recent press conference.

“We join Tyre’s family in supporting the Department’s decision to terminate the five officers who brutalized him, ultimately causing his death,” he wrote with fellow attorney Antonio Romanucci. “This is the first step towards achieving justice for Tyre and his family. They must also be held accountable for robbing this man of his life and his son of a father.”

Still, what do you think of Moneybagg Yo’s message of prayers and justice to the family of Tyre Nichols? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest updates and tributes regarding this heinous case.

Rest In Peace Tyre Nichols.

Law enforcement has allegedly told the tabloid site that the note contains “vague references to issues he had been dealing with.”

On Wednesday (December 14), news began circulating about his death by suicide. The entertainer was only 40 years old.

Boss’ wife, Allison Holker, allegedly rushed to a police station after her husband left the house without his car. His phone was also turned off. She says these circumstances were unusual for the So You Think You Can Dance alumni.

Additionally, sources are telling The New York Post that widespread rumors surrounding the reasoning for his suicide are false.

In a since-deleted Instagram post on Thursday (December 15), actor Columbus Short confusingly shared a theory surrounding the freestyle hip-hop dancer’s death.

“You guys don’t know what people are going through. You know, people made investments, people do a lot of things.. this is just a theory,” he says in the video.

“What if you invested in something that took your whole life savings, possibly? It gets rough,” Short continues afterwards.

In other news, Boss’ grandfather, Teddy, is speaking out about his last words with his grandson.

In their final conversation before his tragic passing, the former DJ for The Ellen DeGeneres Show told his grandpa how much he loved him.

“Every word has meaning. His last words to me were a simple text that says, ‘I love you Dad-Dad.’ Our question is why? Where did it come from?” Teddy told The Daily Mail.
