Cardi B has paid tribute to the late social media star Rolling Ray (born Raymond Harper), who reportedly passed away at the age of 28.

Zeus Network, where Ray starred in multiple shows, confirmed his passing on Thursday (Sept. 4) in a heartfelt post to Instagram.

“Gone way too soon. #RestInPeace to the BIG hearted, most Raw, & Real FRIEND & #Zeus Star #RaymondHarper aka @iamrollingray. Your Laughter, Light, & Loving Spirit will Live on FOREVER,” the network wrote.

Cardi B took to X after hearing the tragic news and commended Ray for the positive changes he made in his life.

“Rolling Ray was a menace lmaoo… but he changed soo much and became so positive,” she wrote. “I know that soul made it to heaven…You will truly be missed BIG PURRRR!!!”

The Bardi Gang hopped into the rapper’s replies, letting Cardi know how big a fan Ray was of her. “If you go on Rolling Ray’s page and type in your name, you’ll see how he loved you down,” one person wrote. “He was definitely a real one. PURRRRR.”

The cause of death for Rolling Ray is yet to be revealed. Ray rose to prominence with viral social media clips featuring his unfiltered thoughts and personality. He appeared on the Bobby I Love You, Purrr dating show as well as Zeus’ The Conversation and featured in MTV’s Catfish, Trolls and Divorce Court.

Cardi isn’t the only music superstar who is a fan of Ray. Beyoncé allegedly sent him a gift box of Ivy Park clothes along with a personal autographed note in 2020.
