"People need reflection," Hill, 50, opened the caption of her post. "I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius."

Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed. You imaged [sic] a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other."
The former Fugees star's beautiful words were accompanied by a collection of photos of the late, iconic music star, as well as one of the two together.
