“Selfishly I wish they could sneak a protools rig and a mic in your jail cell so that you can unload all of those ideas,” he wrote in his IG caption, “’cause I know you don’t write, all of your hits have been freestyled off the top…… But that’s just me.”

BET previously reported that Gibson’s mother, Priscilla Murray, died last month after a weeks-long battle with pneumonia and COVID-19.
