R&B singer Kehlani is in a world of pain right now. The West Coast musician has come forward with deep words about the unexpected death of 21-year-old rapper and close friend Lexi Alijai.
Lani went to her Instagram page last night to reflect on their close-knit bond and how much of an impact Alijai’s passing is having on her.

Lani also went to her Twitter page to pour out more emotions and reflections on Lexi but did not provide any details on what ultimately ended her life.
Rap artists Wale and Dreamville’s Bas also reacted to the shocking news.
This is hard to comprehend. So young, talented, humble, and gracious. I was positive it was only a matter of time before the world celebrated your talent and your character. RIP Lexii

Lexi rose to fame in 2014 and collaborated with Kehlani a year later.
Lynch, who was a St. Paul, Minn., native, gained prominence by rapping over songs like Bryson Tiller’s “Exchange,” Meek Mill’s “Cold Hearted” and Drake’s “Girls Love Beyonce.” She also released original music, including several mixtapes, the first being “Super Sweet 16’s” in 2014. She would followed that up with 2014’s “feel-less” and 2015’s “Joseph’s Coat,” and debuted her first full-length project in 2017 with the 16-track “Growing Pains.” Her collaboration with Kehlani, “Jealous,” came on Kehlani’s 2015 mixtape “You Should Be Here,” which was nominated for best urban contemporary album at the Grammys.
