The Baby Phat owner took to Instagram to pay him a tribute, which was short but touching as she was understandably short of words.

She posted the tribute alongside some pictures of the deceased. Andre posed with someone else in most of the photos, but there was one that showed him alone. The post was captioned:

"... #AndreHarrell, dear brother. You were my cherished friend, at my wedding, godfather to my kids... Till we're together again…"

Harrell entered the world of entertainment through a rap duo, which he was a part of during the 1980s, but the music was not his only part.

He also produced movies, including "Strictly Business." Lots of artists, including Usher, paid tribute to him after he was officially confirmed dead by Rhoma Khanna, the CEO of the company that he worked with:

"We can confirm the passing of Andre Harrell...Everyone in the REVOLT family is devastated by the loss of our friend, mentor…"
