When Crystal says she’s got your back, it was for real! My biggest MC gigs came from you. Always so encouraging, always so loving. You LOVED to share, loved to connect people, loved to see things work out. Such a professional at executing your projects. Your taste in music was incredible! I called her DJ! Crystal at one point sent me over 50 new songs on whatsapp to check out and playlist. We even talked about getting you to guest DJ on Live at some point. Gosh you will be missed. It’s so sad. My condolences to everyone hurting at this point. Family, friends and colleagues. @quteghanaian You were and will always be a blessing. God Rest your soul. ”
