In a statement to People magazine, the Kardashian-Jenner family wrote: “Angela was truly the best. She cared about every one of us and made things happen that were impossible. She will be greatly missed and we send our sincere condolences to her family and loved ones during this most difficult time.”
Minaj also took to social media to express condolences for her former manager’s death.
“Hardest working, most reliable, sweetest person you could ever know. You didn’t deserve this, Angela. My heart is breaking for your children. Rest in Peace,” she posted on Instagram.
