For some reason, we the hip hop culture found out about the death of Andre Harrell, the first person that came to mind was Diddy. Of course Andre basically launched Sean "Diddy" Combs career. Andre hired Diddy to work for Uptown Records before Diddy went on to form his own business, Bad Boy Records. Andre was Diddy's mentor. But the two remained close for years. Andre even worked with Diddy on Revolt as the vice chairman. So of course, Diddy is feeling some type of way about Andre's death. When you think about it, this is the second major close and public death Diddy has gone through. He took it hard when his ex, Kim Porter passed away and now this. Diddy finally had a chance to speak of his mentor's death, with a video on Instagram. It's a video, but in the caption, Diddy says, "I honestly still can’t believe it. I’ve got to give myself the reality of this in doses. Because I can’t even handle this. I hope to God that you are all blessed to have someone in your life that loves you and believes in you like this man believed in me.… I’m going to miss him so much. I can’t even imagine life without Dre. God bless@gianni,@onealmcknightand the rest of the family. LOVE YOU FOREVER@andreharrell.
