Rihanna’s Message To Late Former Basketball Player Cliff Dixon Will Break Your Heart All Over Again

RiRi joins the rest of Hollywood in mourning the beloved brother and friend.

Hearts everywhere were left broken in remembrance of 32-year-old Cliff Dixon after he was fatally shot during his birthday celebration on Thursday (March 21).

The former college basketball star maintained close relationships to several names in the Hollywood circle, including Dave East, Fabolous, NBA MVP and brother (by way of Dixon's adoption) Kevin Durant, and many more, who banded together to bid their farewell to the loving brother, son and friend. Fashion, music and beauty mogul Rihanna is one of them, and her message to Dixon is one that his dearest loved ones can all agree on.  

  • 'Still in shock about this man,' RiRi posted on an Instagram Story post...

    "Rest easy Cliff."

    Though no reports were ever confirmed, the Anti songstress was rumored to be dating Dixon at one point in 2014. The two were spotted together on a few occasions, which spurred dating rumors. There's just as good a chance that the two fostered a close friendship too, though, especially judging by the sincerity of RiRi's parting words to him.
