In late December, Rihanna paid tribute to her cousin, Tavon Kaiseen Alleyne. The singer shared a series of photos, including a few of herself and her cousin caught in an embrace. The remaining images in the series included a few solo shots of Alleyne, who was all smiles in each one. Rihanna accompanied the pictures with a sweet caption to remember Alleyne on the fourth anniversary of his death. "Miss you and dat smile cuz," she wrote in the caption.
It didn't take too long for fans to flock to the comments section to send Rihanna love during what has to be a difficult time for her and her family. "God Bless you and your family. He's one of the angels covering your family," one follower commented on the upload. "May he continue to rest in paradise," a second social media user chimed in alongside a sad face emoji. "I know he's looking down on you and is so proud of everything you've achieved," another added.
This is not the first time that Rihanna has opened up about the tragic loss of her cousin. In late December 2017, the singer shared a photo of herself and Alleyne to announce the sad news to the world. "RIP cousin... can't believe it was just last night that I held you in my arms! never thought that would be the last time I felt the warmth in your body!!!" she wrote. "Love you always, man!" Rihanna also used a hashtag to promote putting an end to gun violence.
