I’ve got to give myself the reality of this in doses. Because I can’t even handle this. I hope to God that you are all blessed to have someone in your life that loves you and believes in you like this man believed in me.… I’m going to miss him so much. I can’t even imagine life without Dre. God bless @gianni, @onealmcknight and the rest of the family. 🖤✊🏿⁣ ⁣ LOVE YOU FOREVER @andreharrell !!!!!!!!!!

In the clip, Diddy takes the time to express his appreciation to Andre Harrell for being a true mentor and father figure.

Last year, BET mentioned they were working to produce a mini series about Andre Harrell and Uptown Records.

Now according to Variety, BET Executives say the show will go on:

“We are mourning the loss of a cultural icon, Andre Harrell, a chief architect of the modern hip-hop and R&B sound.”

“Andre was tremendously excited about sharing the origin story of Uptown Records, and its pivotal role in the urban music landscape. With his tragic passing, BET is committed to ensuring that the Uptown limited series event tells both the Uptown story and Andre’s story — that of the incredible music innovator, man and friend to so many.”

If the finished product of the mini series is anything like Harrell’s career, it is sure to be ground-breaking.
