Now, Janoris is speaking out, saying, “With regret and sadness I wish to inform the fans, and the public a good friend of mine Roosevelt Rene a.k.a. Trypps Beats was found dead at my place of residence.”
“Trypps was a good friend and we were collaborating on music production together. It truly hurts my heart to know he has passed away.”
“At the time of the incident I was in Florida preparing to finish off my promotional tour. As this is an ongoing incident, I cannot answer any questions related to the investigation.”
