He revealed in a video, "Puffy, we need your help and you are reaching out." "You're trying to say he's not. He's really trying to help." Curry didn't mention what kind of help their co-rapper gave out.
Meanwhile, other rappers have been posting tributes to Black Rob.
LL Cool J said, "A story teller. An MC. A gentleman everytime I saw him. Rest in power, my brother."
Now that Black Rob has passed, it was revealed that the GoFundMe donations would be given to his family, as there has been a separate fundraiser for his funeral created by DJ Self for funeral service and other expenses.
It's unclear if Diddy donated to Black Rob's GoFundMe pages because his name wasn't on the list of donors on both fundraisers.
