Remy Ma shares news of the death of her best friend.

New York rapper Remy Ma paid tribute to her late friend, Monica Denise Smith in a touching Instagram post made yesterday (April 10). Remy’s Instagram upload featured video that was recorded prior to Smith’s passing.

“I have one best friend in the whole world. And her name is Monica Denise Smith. She’s an annoying Pisces like my husband. They think they’re always right. But they fuckin’ love you to death,” Remy Ma says in the video, before kissing her friend on the forehead.

“I loved you since the day I met you. You’re my best friend in the whole wide world,” Smith responds.

In the caption to her video, Remy revealed that she lost Smith, who she’s been friends with for over 25 years, “to a horrible disease.” She says she had plans to visit Smith this week, but had to postpone because of press appearances.

“A couple hours ago I lost my Best Friend to a horrible disease that there is ‘allegedly’ no cure for,” Remy Ma wrote in her caption. “We have been friends for over 25 years; we met as kids still in elementary school. We have been hungry together, & homeless together & we have experienced child birth together & traveled around the world together. It was a time growing up when I
thought she was the prettiest girl in the world; she really was beautiful, & even as she got sicker she remained beautiful to me because she had such a beautiful heart & spirit. I can’t imagine what my Goddaughter feels right now but if it’s 1% of like how I feel, she is devastated. I saw my friend 6 days ago and we talked just like always but I knew our time was limited. I drove 4 hours to see her & promised I’d be back this week. Unfortunately, I had to do press for 3 days straight and I called her lovely sister at 4:30am explaining how I would come straight there tonight after my performance in Connecticut… I’m still going, she just won’t be there when I get there. I can’t believe she is gone. I love you Monica, always & forever. I watched this video so many times. I don’t even know what to say. But if you have someone you love don’t put off going to be by their side for NOTHING no matter how important that thing may seem cuz there is no guarantee that they will be there when u finally arrive.”
