When asked about how he deals with the grief, Herbo said: “I felt empty. I feel like I caused it, 100 percent, from the bottom of my heart. I felt like, what the fuck you wanna do something to my little brother for? You wanted to do something to me.
“The reason why I feel like is that is ’cause I always dictated his life a little bit… I told him to stop going to that fucking barbershop. I’m telling him this countless times… But he’s such a good person he ain’t thinking that [somebody would hurt him].”

Herbo then becomes visibly emotional, saying: “If I get a Grammy, an Oscar, I’ma still think about my little brother. My life can’t be complete without him. It don’t feel complete. It’s never gonna feel complete without him.
“That’s the truth! I ain’t never gonna be able to feel complete without him. That shit just don’t make sense to me. It don’t add up. And I’ve been through a lot of shit, way too much. It still ain’t making sense to me why he not here.”
