BeatKing’s Girlfriend Speaks Out Following Rapper’s Death
On Wednesday (Aug. 21), BeatKing’s girlfriend Talameshia shared a tribute to BeatKing on Instagram. The Houston rapper and producer passed away unexpectedly on Aug. 15 at the age of 39, and Talameshia celebrated BeatKing for being her “biggest supporter” and said during their time together he was her “bestest friend.”
“Idk if this makes it real. Idk if this helps or hurts me. Idk what version of him everyone got,” Talameshia began. “But I know I got to love laugh and live with the best version of him. Over everything, he’s my bestest friend. My biggest supporter. He called me his Superstar. We prayed. We pranked each other. Literally was just too big a*s kids. I’ve questioned life. I’ve doubted my strength through this. I haven’t been eating. And barely sleeping. I don’t know how im functioning. I’m crying because I know he was ready. He was happy. He was loved. This has to be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Was watch you leave me. I fought and fought but GOD wasn’t letting up. I know you’re with your Mom , and finally moonwalking with our favorite, Michael Jackson.”
Talameshia added she’s appreciated the support from fans, and that any videos supporters may have collected of BeatKing from over the years should be sent to her.
“I see everyone’s prayers and encouraging words,” she continued. “It’s helping more than you know. Send me any videos and photos you have of us or him. I posted this for yall. Because if you know us , you know he’d want me to keep going. He’d say ‘Mannnn stop crying and drop all that music.’ I love yall… and he loves yall …Until we meet again Big Daddy.”
BeatKing’s manager Tasha Felder confirmed on Instagram the tragic news, and reports emerged later that the Houston rapper passed away from a pulmonary embolism after fainting during a radio show.
