As reported by Us Weekly, an initial post from his management announcing Coly’s death read, “Rest in peace @iamlucascoly I love you bro. My heart is ripped in half. Wait for me up there 🙏.”
Shortly afterward, the post, under the handle @idiscoverstars, was edited into a longer tribute. “Being your manager was one of the reasons I stayed here. There’s a hole in my heart right now Lucas. We used to speak on our struggles all the time but smile for the fans. So many people hurt us again and again but we had each other. I don’t know what to do now. I’d be a hypocrite if I told you not to, and I go and do the same,” the post read.
The message continued, “Honestly, Lucas it hasn’t set in yet because I refuse to believe you are gone. Heart ripped to shreds. God send him back here. Please 💔 I’m broken over here #riplucascoly #checkonyourfriends.”
Later, the post’s caption was changed to simply, “My brother.” The photo showed Coly dressed in a black hoodie with a “Death Row” logo and a face mask pulled down under his chin.
Coly’s manager also shared a photo of the late artist dressed in an all-black outfit, smoking, with the caption containing only a simple heart emoji.
Before his death, Coly posted a brief message on his Instagram story that read, “I love yall [sic],” followed by an orange heart emoji, all against a black background.
