Rapper Joey Bada$$ has decided to cancel the rest of his European tour to mourn the death of his cousin.
The New York star, real name Jo-Vaughn Scott, took to Twitter.com on Saturday (06Dec14) to share a touching tribute to his beloved Junior B.
He wrote, "Today we lost a solider. But I know you'll be forever watching over. Rest in Peace to my big cuz/pro/brother/manager/guardian/angel. No one will ever take your place and I promise we gonna keep pushing way stronger in honor of you. No one will ever understand how much of a selfless and loyal person you was. In this last year I don't know what I would of done without you...
"You saved me bro just when I thought I couldn't go any longer you came into the picture and shifted my entire drive. Never have I've known someone so inspired to work and help their fellow peers. It's kinda hard writing this without crying, I'm so torn apart.
"But I know no matter what you would just want to see us win. I'm forever changed but thank you for blessing us with your heavenly gift and may your soul rest in peace. To my big cuz (cousin) Junior (sic)."
Bada$$ had been slated to make stops in Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, and Austria through 14 December (14), but he has since chosen to axe all the upcoming gigs.
Addressing his fans, he continued, "To my Europe fans: I have to cancel the rest of this tour... My cuz just passed and I can't find the strength... I'm sincerely sorry... Appreciate life and your loved ones at all times... Life can take a turn at any minute."
The cause of Junior B's death has yet to be revealed, but Bada$$ previously called on fans to pray for his cousin, who had been hospitalised with third degree burns from a mystery incident.
