Chris posted a late-night Instagram story on Friday night featuring a friend named Courtland Young. Later, he added another update to his own story.

“I just can’t reply to every direct message you send me,” he remarked. “I had his back, I understood him, and I was his friend.”

The artist stated, “People in his life can tell you to shut up about things you don’t know.”

Courtland stated, “I’ve been on the phone with his family and close friends, but I can’t speak on this [right now].”

“I just saw a close friend commit suicide, and now I’m being asked questions? ‘Get the f**k out!'” he cried out.

He urged those who followed him, “Please let his family grieve while things get worked out.”
