Marshmello, among many others artists in the dance music community, has taken to Twitter following the tragic news of rapper Lil Peep's death. The 21-year-old artist's passing was due to a suspected drug overdose, according to The Guardian.
In a series of tweets, Marshmello says Lil Peep was "the nicest person ever," and that they had even spoke last week about working on a song together.
He goes on to encourage everyone "to just love each other," reminding fans that his artist project is aimed at "bringing positivity to our scene and figuring out ways to bring change to the world for the better."
Billboard has reached out to Marshmello's camp for further comment.
I cant even believe this. We were just talking last week about working on a song together and now you’re gone. You will be missed, R.I.P. @Lilpeep -- pic.twitter.com/GQRJe8Vck0

— marshmello (@marshmellomusic) November 16, 2017None of us are promised tomorrow. Make sure everyday counts
— marshmello (@marshmellomusic) November 16, 2017Don’t wait until someone’s gone to tell them how much you love them, forgive and forget any issues with those you care about and realize that we all are only here for a limited amount of time
— marshmello (@marshmellomusic) November 16, 2017There’s enough hate around us, we need to just love eachother...real talk
— marshmello (@marshmellomusic) November 16, 2017People always wait until someone is gone to express how much they loved or cared about them...that shouldn’t be the case.
— marshmello (@marshmellomusic) November 16, 2017I love you all very much and I’m here for every single one of you guys.
— marshmello (@marshmellomusic) November 16, 2017Im not a philosopher, I’m a dreamer and a believer. While most of the world is worried about itself, I pride myself on bringing positivity to our scene and figuring out ways to bring change to the world for the better. Fuck chasing fame, we all bleed the same blood. https://t.co/eJt8Low4cK
