Many of Bo’s colleagues have posted heartfelt messages to social media, including Ross’ MMG artist Wale. He wrote:

“As the tears begin to chase each other down my face .. I try to combat the sadness of this new reality with the indelible memories u gave us. It still doesn’t seem real.. it can’t be real! WHY is it real? Absolutely None of us have to try to think of the selflessness the genuine compassion and absolute loyalty for your friends you demonstrated daily.. no sir, because those things are synonymous with your face. Those things are synonymous with your name. Those things… synonymous wit the very thought of you comrade . My heart hurts so much . I’m wondering if I’ll ever need it again .. The world ,the label ..,s**t EVERYBODY knows I’m a mess . I’m flawed I’m flawed I’m flawed and maybe I don’t even belong . Maybe I never did. BUT because of you ,the insecurities and self doubt became as insignificant As these tears in a hurricane.”

BUT because of you ,the insecurities and self doubt became as insignificant As these tears in a hurricane. At this very moment I’m writing off instinct . The pain the sorrow the mourning is inevitable. But I could take 14 forevers and still never find the words that illustrate how much we love you . How much I love you .how much I need you. Your wisdom , composure an ear to listen a shoulder to cry on all things we foolishly tend to take for granted . May God be with your family and friends . I Love u OG .. you will forever be in our hearts. And I will cherish every piece of advice you gave ??Black ??
