Her brother, Elijah Inegbedion, later posted a heartfelt tribute on Facebook.
“Been at a loss for words for some days now,” he began. “And to think that I’ll ever have the words to describe the person you’ve been and the legacy that you left behind would be erroneous.”
“Long Live my sister Khadiyah Lewis,” he added. “You left behind a legacy most individuals can only dream of.”
“Thank you for loving me the way you did and always having my back no matter what. God blessed me when he made me your baby brother and for that I am eternally thankful. You are forever on my mind and in my heart. I love you!”
Lewis made her first appearance on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta during her relationship with rapper Yung Joc and later became a supporting cast member in Season 4, according to TMZ.
