“I went to the hospital to see you last night, what I saw had me walking out the room crying, a week ago or so,” the veteran DJ wrote. “you requested that people come see you before aug 2, that’s when you wanted to be taking off of the respirator, yesterday was aug 2nd, I would have had so much regret if I didn’t make it there, because today your gone.

“You was holding on last night after they took you off the machine, it was very hard to leave you behind in that hospital room to go home, knowing I will never see you again, but my memory of you will last forever, we grew up together a block away from each other, Kingsbridge terrace and Sedgwick ave, Home of hip hop! The Bx!”

Capri then shared some memories of working with Foxx and her contributions to M.O.P.: “I remember when I started my girl group, Sly, slick and wicked, later on we added a girl named lethal, and that was you, I had fun making you, Kim, Georgia and @qtpepsi rehearse the routines I was writing, after that, you was influenced by music for real.

“[T]hen years after that, you linked up with @famem.o.p @billydanzem.o.p the great hip hop group M.O.P. Who I got a lot of love and respect for, not only because of how dope they are, but taking you around the world so that you can see things you never seen before.

“You was on records and in videos, you got the chance to know what it is to make people happy that you didn’t even know, a chance to do what others haven’t, you’ve always had an incredible personality and we all gonna miss you very much,, you go ahead and rest up, you did your job, we got the rest! God bless you prayers to you and your family! Sharitha cook! Big Fox!! Love you forever!”
