Drake and Rihanna are mourning the loss of one their most loyal fans, Megan McFlores, who passed away from cancer Sunday. The teenage girl — who who was also known as OVO Megan — met Drake in March through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and inspired the Toronto rapper to dedicate his album Views to her. “This body of work is dedicated to Megan Flores,” he wrote. “I pray for your well being every day.”
Drake posted an Instagram honoring McFlores Sunday. “Rest in peace my angel. I know heaven is celebrating today,” he captioned the photo. “Thank you for the moments and emotions we share I am blessed to have known you in this lifetime.”
Rihanna — who was introduced to McFlores through Drake — also shared a tribute to the superfan. “I had the pleasure of meeting an angel on earth!,” the “Work” singer wrote. “After my show in Miami, [Drake] introduced me to Megan! She’s inspired me so much with her strength and her perspective on life! So fearless and kind! It’s heavy news that I can’t slide in your DMs anymore like I used to!! There was always a smile waiting for me there! You brightened any day! Rest up baby girl! We will miss you!!”
