Crawford was hosting a gathering of six people at the time of the incident, according to Daily Mail. Rapper Erica Banks, who recently signed to Crawford’s label, shared an emotional Instagram post about Lartigue.
“I can’t believe this man you promised you’d never leave my side, we said we’d die together,” Banks wrote. “You made me love myself more. You always told me I was your favorite person, and you made my life 10x more fun, even if it was just going down the street for food. Ppl always say they loved our chemistry man. You were the only person I wanted. We were so happy. Thank you so much for coming into my life and making me your special girl. Forever my love.”
