"Still haven’t been able to find to words to express how I feel.. RIP to a true New Orleans legend," Wayne wrote about his hometown homie this afternoon on Instagram.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell also said goodbye to the artist born Jerome Cosey.

He was the Bounce King, who showed us how to move, how to love, and how to bring passion and humanity to everything we do. New Orleans has lost a cornerstone of our culture. Our City will not be the same without his voice and his spirit. May he rest in God’s perfect peace. pic.twitter.com/cVlyA6GQ3S
