“It hurts to know he ain’t make it. RIP Babus”
“What the heck is this coincidence that “I’ll see you when you get there” by Coolio was playing while I tweeted that?? ? This life is actually now so annoying”
No way. I’m lost for words. @DjBabus you were a beautiful, beautiful soul. You radiated so much joy wherever you went. I’ll always hold close the music we made. Rest In Peace, my friend. – Tomi Owo
I just read about Dj Babus. I had to sit down for a moment to really reflect on how fickle and dusty and fragile this life of ours really is. One moment you here the next… its RiP. Rest in perfect peace my G. To you all out there. Covid is wiping us out. Stay guarded. And pray – Illbilss
