This is by far the most emotional one.
Ill never act like I was cool like that with Eddie but the few times we spoke in person or on the phone, he genuinely cared about what I had to say. So amazing to be able to communicate with The GOAT.
I wish he was still here. https://t.co/BH3aHNyaYP— The Monsta (@SteveMackDHS) November 13, 2023
