Young Dolph’s longtime love and partner Mia Jaye posted a moving tribute video in her Instagram account with photos of the performer and their family together in the rapper’s memory.

“Pray for the healing of my heart,” Mia wrote as photos of the rapper flashed in the video shared on Dec. 1. Referencing her longtime love and her brother, Jeremy Jerdine, who also lost his life to gun violence, she added, “I have two angels watching over me.”

“Long Live My King… My Heart… My Soulmate… I love you ♾💙,” Mia said of Dolph, with whom she shares two young children, in the caption.

Mia is the founder of a clothing brand called Momeo that runs an ongoing campaign called “Black Men Deserve To Grow Old,” which she started last year following her brother’s death. Through purchases of the clothing line, the Momeo brand helps raise money for families who’ve lost loved ones to gun violence.
