The page reads: “Rest in peace by Qidere “LGP Qua” Johnson.
“He dreams of using rap to improve the community to influence the way young people think. So young and talented. Qidere is what his friends and family know because of someone who rides a bike until the wheels fall.
“He knew the struggles of the inner city youth. But he did not let his downfall or setbacks stop his message.”
Another Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill came to his Instagram story with a video of Johnson.
“Killing ambitious young bulls on Mother’s Day is a Philadelphia thing, SMFH … sh ** will set you apart.
The rapper added: “Pray to your family and let us collect some of these guns.”

DJ Kid Capri said: “I’m very hurt in this regard, wow, I don’t believe in Mother’s Day either, imagine his mother’s experience, it’s so bad!”
“It’s really heartbreaking. I pray for Philadelphia, for this brother’s family. We have to do better,” said rapper Dee-1.
