Upon learning the news, the Hip Hop community banned together and several notable names popped up in the comment section to offer Daz their support. DJ Premier — who lost both of his parents in recent years and knows firsthand what Daz is experiencing — wrote, “She will watch over you and bless you Daz,” while Jermaine Dupri offered a series of prayer emojis.
Meanwhile, Goodie Mob’s Big Gipp wrote, “Luv U Cuzzo,” MC Eiht added, “STAY STRONG CUZZIN” and Xzibit said, “My condolences brother. Prayers and thoughts for you and your family Daz. Love you G.”
But that was just the tip of the iceberg — condolences from Redman, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony legend Layzie Bone, Compton’s Most Wanted’s Tha Chill, Warren G, WC, Mia X, Cypress Hill’s Sen Dog and The D.O.C. poured in throughout the day. Even Rick Ross left several prayer emojis for Daz.
