.ombbloodbath reflects on her friendship with George Floyd: 'He was everyone's uncle and godfather.'
Amid protests against police brutality in New York, D.C. Atlanta, Los Angeles, Louisville and elsewhere continue,OMB Bloodbath is in Houston, where Floyd grew up, mourning the loss of a mentor and friend. The following remembrance is in her own words, as told to Jewel Wicker.
I have a billion memories of Floyd. They used to go out and gather up all the chairs and have church in the middle of the projects. There was a time when Floyd went out there with a kiddie pool and was helping baptize people. He had a good aura about him. You look at a dude that big and think he has to be some type of extra-hard gangsta, but he was the exact opposite. That’s why you hear a lot of people call him the gentle giant. He had a heart of gold.
That’s the type of message he’d send me out of the blue. I’m glad I didn’t read it at the time because it was like his goodbye to me. It makes me want to go harder and keep making him proud. It’s another push to keep going harder. That was someone who just genuinely wanted to see me make it, without wanting anything in return.
