Condolences poured in on Twitter, including from Andrew Barber, who runs the influential hip-hop site fakeshoredrive.com. Barber said in an emailed statement, "I met Fredo in early 2012, just as Chicago's Drill boom was taking off. Despite how he may have been perceived by media or the fans, Fredo was one of the kindest and coolest artists I've come in contact with during my 10+ years in the business. He had a clear plan of what he wanted to do and how he wanted to accomplish it. … His flow, look and style was often mimicked and imitated throughout the years, but the industry recognized him as an originator and innovator. He will be missed."
