After Ex-Fiancee Naya Rivera's Death, Big Sean Breaks His Silence

It came across as a major shock to some while more of an affirmation to others when it was indeed confirmed that actor Naya Rivera passed away as her body was found by the authorities on Monday, 13th July.

Ever since then, everyone has been pouring in their tributes and after all this time, ex-fiancee, Big Sean broke his silence on her death in a heartfelt Instagram post.

"Rest In Peace Naya, God Bless your Soul! Thank you for blessing us all with your talent and presence. You are a hero! Not just because of how you saved your son, also because of the barriers you knocked down for so many people to make them feel confident in themselves and to stand tall and be proud when they couldn't achieve that on their own," he wrote. "I appreciate and cherish everything that ever happened between us for making me wiser and a better person."

Big Sean continued, "I'm still grieving and in shock, I can't believe this is real. I'm praying for you and your family and I know your watching over them and protecting them. Rest In Peace Naya."

Though Big Sean had previously shown his support for Rivera by "liking" tweets that contained hopeful messages and prayers for her safe return—including one from Ben Baller that read, "Prayers out to Naya Rivera. I hope she is ok,"—the rapper's postmarked his first comment on her tragic death.

Rivera and Big Sean—Sean Michael Leonard Anderson—first met on Twitter, and he was later featured on her debut single, "Sorry." The two began dating in 2013, and got engaged later that year. However, the couple split six months after making the announcement.

May Rivera's sould rest in peace.
