Lewis’ brother confirmed the news about the death of the former reality star with a touching tribute on social media.
“Been at a lost for words for some days now. And to think that I’ll ever have the words to describe the person you’ve been and the legacy that you left behind would be erroneous,” Elijah Inegbedion shared on Facebook in a post dated Monday, June 2. “Long Live my sister Khadiyah Lewis.”
He continued, “You left behind a legacy most individuals can only dream of. Thank you for loving me the way you did and always having my back no matter what. God blessed me when he made me your baby brother and for that I am eternally thankful. You are forever on my mind and in my heart. I love you!”
