To honour his pal even more, Ye decided to launch his own three-piece merchandise collection in memory of the 20-year-old.

Dispatchers initially described the rapper as comatose and with no pulse; with the Broward Sheriffs Department later confirming that he had been pronounced dead.
According to the dispatch call the suspects were described two black males wearing hoodies, and the shooter was wearing a red mask, alleged TMZ.
The car has been confirmed as a black Dodge Journey, with dark tint and black wheels.
