In a separate post, the 43-year-old added: “RIP spoon,” alongside sad face and praying hands emojis. Following the sad news, a number of Kevin’s friends offered him their condolences.

“So sorry Kev. Love you. Keep making them proud brother,” wrote Marlon Wayans, while Chelsea Handler posted, “Oh, sorry, Kev. He wouldn’t have left you before he knew you were good.”

And Wanda Sykes commented: “Sorry Kev. Sending you and your family lots of love.”
