Khaled took to social media with a caption along with the statement that reads:

A gift from my brother Nipsey that we want to share with the world. We miss you and we will forever keep your legacy going. The Marathon Continues. ?? God Bless You. ????

The Grammy-winner John Legend mirrored the hitmaker’s message, posting the same announcement with the caption:

Proud to be a part of this inspiring record with @djkhaled and @nipseyhussle. We lost him too soon. The proceeds will go to his loved ones.

Nipsey posted this photo back in February when they were working on the song.
