"The heavens gained an angel but I lost my soul mate," Reed tweeted, adding a sad emoji.

Brown's close friend Karey Graves told The Daily Mail Brown was "born with a heart condition" and told her Tuesday he was not feeling ill. "It was eerie, like he knew something was going to happen, but wouldn't seek medical help because he has a phobia of hospitals," Graves said. "'From my view, I feel like he had COVID or maybe another illness that didn't make it easy for his pre-existing heart condition. He definitely knew something was going to happen."
Another friend, Geo Moya, told the Mail Brown was a "good person" and a "beacon of light." "We would celebrate life. We had talks of me becoming his manager for music. He liked the way I conducted my label," Moya added. "He was in the beginning stages of putting his album out. I met up with his dad and instantly I felt like we were family."
