Mister is also the cousin of Lil Durk, who is currently on tour. As of Saturday afternoon, Durk has not publicly responded Mister's death.

In a 2017 interview with ZackTV, Mister spoke about the death of his good friend Lil Jojo, as well as the advice Durk gave him about dealing with beef.

Chicago police are continuing with their investigation of the shooting and have yet to arrest a suspect.

Mister was most known for his contributions to the drill movement, and dropped his biggest single, "No Lackin," in 2012. The young artist was reportedly incarcerated on traffic and weapons-related charges several years ago before getting released in 2016. His most recent output was "Ride or Die."
