Rappers Soldier Kidd and Soldier JoJo denied any involvement in Onfroy’s death after social media posts showed them posing with a red mask and picking up food from a takeaway close to the murder scene.
On Instagram Live, Soldier Kidd said he was at his house “all day, popping Xanax and shit like that”.
Soldier Jojo posted a video to the social media platform responding to allegations over any involvement: “We respect everybody, straight up. We ain’t with none of that shit man, I respect that man for who he is, and RIP to that man.”
