While performing in Miami at Rolling Loud the following month, the rapper, 30, dedicated his set to his late daughter. The New Jersey native, who is also the father of Aydin, 10, Khari, 5, Zaviera, 6, Amani, 5, and Zy, 3, wrote via Instagram: “LoLo daddy did that s–t for you last night baby girl.”

On Saturday, July 31, Miami posted a touching tribute to Lauren, sharing a video of her swimming with a smile. “This is my amazing, beautiful, funny, vibrant, loving, talented, smart and hardheaded princess mermaid Aquarius,” the model captioned her Instagram post at the time. “If you see this post scrolling by with her comment or just say to yourself ‘I love you LAUREN’ because they say that souls can feel your love. #rip.”

The dancer went on to defend her ex’s parenting skills, noting that while she “complained” about him on social media from 2017 to 2019, their coparenting had improved.

“He became more financially and emotionally responsible for her,” Miami told her Instagram followers on Monday, August 2. “He didn’t post her the same way I didn’t, because Lauren use[d] to get a lot of disrespectful things said about her and I asked him not to. All that y’all need to know is Lauren loved her daddy and he loved her. She made him laugh with her crazy funny personality and she loved to be the center of attention and he loved to be her audience. It couldn’t hurt some of y’all to be a little bit more compassionate, you don’t have to kick a man while he’s down. Losing a child is as down as it gets.”

That same day, Wap kissed photos of his daughter in an Instagram Live video. “Y’all can do me a favor? Just post all butterflies,” the songwriter said in the footage. “All butterflies. [She] loved butterflies. If you guys could do that, that means a lot.”

He later posted one of the pictures to his account on Tuesday, August 3, writing, “Hey mini me (My Twin). I love you to the moon and back forever and ever best friend.”
