The girlfriend ofrapper Drakeo the Ruleris paying tribute to her late “soulmate” after he was fatally stabbed at a Los Angeles music festival on Saturday.
“Darrell you knew everything about me and still loved me,” shewrote on Sunday. “I will miss our drunk nights, our arguments over nothing, u singing Sam Smith to me in the car, holding my hand 24/7, massaging my feet, staring at me while I’m sleeping. This loss is unbearable.”
In asecond post, Bianca shared a photo of her and Drakeo (né Darrell Caldwell) holding hands and walking away from the camera.
Bianca — who said she and Drakeo, 28, lived together and had “been together for years” — also shared a series of Instagram Stories, many of which addressed her broken heart.
In another, she added: “If I had one birthday wish it would be for my man to be bear hugging me one more time. He gave me the best hugs. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel right now. I just wish u were here Darrell.”
