While mourning the actor, queen.boujee stated: "Nwanne… What do you want me to say? How do I even begin to say goodbye to someone who was more than a friend… someone who became family to me. You called me your Adanne, your big sis, and today my heart is shattered into pieces trying to accept a reality I have been denying since I heard the news. This was not what we discussed. This was not the future we talked about for hours and hours. You told me you would be there at my children's weddings. We laughed about it, prayed about life, spoke about dreams, faith, family, and the future."
