Rose noted how Jamar loved his family, as she continued: 

“One thing about you, you loved your family. You always talked about how you wanted to make the same memories with your family as we experienced growing up. All you talked about was traveling and giving those girls the world.” 

Eboni Price expressed her gratitude for the memories she got to share with his brother and concluded: 

“I can’t stop thinking about your children and how you were such a great father to them. It’s hard losing one of the greats! Continue to keep the entire family lifted in prayer. Jamar Champ I can’t even say the words….”

“God woke me up at 2:00am… I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t know why. Jesus Christ I just received the worse news of my life. Pray for me and my kids please” 

Masika Kalysha later shared an Instagram video urging the bloggers to avoid posting information regarding Jamar Champ’s death. She said: 

“I understand, the blogs have a job to do. I just ask, respectfully, that you guys refrain from posting information until I do. Because word spreads fast to children and although my kids aren't on social media, a lot of their friends are, and a lot of their parents… all their parents are, and I don't want my kids to find out at school before I can tell them.” 

She reiterated her request to the bloggers, asking them to let her make the announcement before them. Kalysha also captioned the post: 

“I am in shambles please respect my family and my children at this time”
