Toie Roberts, the mother of Lil Poppa’s three-year-old son Kofi J’nar, shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram page about the difficulty of grieving the loss of Poppa, born Janarious Mykel Wheeler.
“Nothing could EVER describe the pain, the thoughts, the constant heartbreak of it all,” she wrote in part. “Our reality changing before my eyes. I’ve been wondering how could you be so in a rush to leave us so suddenly & torturing.”
Despite her sorrow, Toie wrote that she has found solace in the memories they both shared and the love they have for their son, Kofi.
“Janarious, [I] got J’nar. You go on & get your rest. [I] hope you found the peace you’ve been looking for,” Toie wrote. “We’ll be fine. [Thank] you FOR EVERYTHING, from the bottom of my heart. [Blue heart emoji] We love you so much & we’re going to miss you endlessly in this lifetime! [teary-eyed emoji and wing emoji].”
