Sörjs samtidigt av kollegan Dizaster.
Efter den tragiska nyheten att framstående battle-rapparen Pat Stay knivmördats under helgen har hans familj och vänner startat en GoFundMe-insamling i hans namn. Insamlingen för kanadensaren startades i syfte att täcka familjens kostnader för hans begravning, enligt en beskrivning.
“We are setting up this fund to help raise money for our fallen brothers family. He has been taken from the world far too soon and many will be devastated forever. Pat Stay was a very honorable man who was on his way to a bright future. Our heart hurts for his family and friends at this time so we hope to help ease some of the pain by ensuring his family has help through this process”, går att läsa på GoFundMe.
Hittills har 1500 personer donerat pengar och den totala summan har redan passerat 1 miljon kronor på bara ett dygn.
Kort efter rapparens död gick flera stora namn ut och hyllade honom via sociala medier. Däribland Eminem, Drake, Alchemist och R.A The Rugged Man. Mest hjärtskärande var dock kollegan och vännen Dizasters inlägg, en person som uppenbarligen stod honom nära.
“I’m at an absolute loss of words right now. I spent the entire morning crying. I can’t possibly process this. He was my number 1. Im absolutely destroyed to the core of my existence. Me and pat were extremely close. People that know me know I don’t keep in touch on a day-to-day basis if were not in the same state let alone country. But pat was different it was an open line. We spoke like he lived across the street from me”, skriver rapparen bland annat.
Dizaster, som själv anses som en av de bästa någonsin inom battle-scenen, fortsatte med att hylla Pat Stay som en av få som “pushed his pen” och utnämnde honom sedan till “G.O.A.T”.
“Nobody will ever replace him. I know I don’t share my family business on here, but I’m also a parent now. I looked up to him as a father and called him when ever I had any questions because he was an example of excellence to me. I learned so much from him. When he lost his mother, I couldn’t get him off my mind and prayed for him night and day. This is my goat for life but not just as a rapper as a human being also, the gentle giant, the kind hearted, the understanding and realest friend u can have.”
Det var under söndagsmorgonen som Pat Stay ådrog sig flera knivhugg av en hittills okänd gärningsman. Han fördes till sjukhus man avled senare. Källor nära situationen har uppgett till HipHopDX att rapparen försökte avstyra ett bråk mellan två personer på en lokal bar efter att ha närvarat på en väns bröllop.
