"He was the sweetest guy, he was so nice. And we were both, you know, kind of internet music kids, because, you know, we came up on the internet, and a lot of critics were like, 'This corny-ass white dude,' just like they were like, 'This corny-ass black dude,' and we used to talk. And this kid, he just loved music.

"And we should be allowed to be sad about that. Like my heart was broken... and I feel good about being sad, because it tells me that he was special, that I had a special moment... Everybody deserves that, everybody in this room."
