Juice WRLD’s girlfriend has spoken out a week after the rapper’s death. Ally Lotti was on stage this past Sunday at the Rolling Loud Festival over in Los Angeles during a tribute to the singer/songwriter.

According to TMZ, Lotti addressed the crowd and gave a heartfelt message about her late boyfriend, Jarad Anthony Higgins. "I just wanted to come out here and let everyone know that Jarad loved every single person that he helped on this earth,” she said. “He literally loved every single one of you guys.”

She added, as reported by ET Online, "He wants everyone to know that you need to take any negative thing in your life, he would tell you every time he saw you, and change that to a positive situation. Change that to 999. You gotta keep that in your heart. Can everyone say 999?” For the rapper, 999 was an important number as it was the opposite 666 and symbolized overpowering negativity and changing it into positivity. Following her speech, the crowd chanted her name as she walked off the stage.

Rapper YBN Cordae also came out to say some words about his late friend. He said that Juice was like a brother to him, adding that he acted like someone that fans can confide in. The late artist’s music video director, Cole Bennett, also got on the mic and said that Juice would never go unnoticed after this death. After leaving the stage, Juice WRLD’s single “Lucid Dreams” was played.

The Chicago native launched his career in 2018 with “Lucid Dreams.” His last album, “Death Race For Love,” released in March. The rapper was named Top New Artist at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards in May.
