How did Steffie Gregg die? 

Rvssian wrote in his post: “I feel helpless my little Steffie @svg876_ I feel I failed you and couldn’t protect you from this.. COVID is REAL, You don’t know until it hits home I lost you & daddy in the same week. You were one of the happiest persons Ever & always had a great vibe & you lit the room up with your energy. You taught my daughter adri the wine dance moves haha you guys remind me so much of each other. The hardest part was explaining to her that she will never be with you again was so hard when she cried out for you She loved you so much and looked up to you. It broke my heart …when u was a 6/7 years old me & xav & kyle use to say we would always have the shotgun ready for any of the boys who bother you. But you grew into a beautiful young lady who had all them at your feet, and we use to laugh about that together. Your mom is one of the strongest women I know & you got that from her - literal twins… I promise to take care of her for you because she lost her dad and you her daughter in one week and that can break anyone."

He added: "I’ll NEVER FORGET the LAST TIME you was with my dad you guys went off in the corner to bun a spliff together and bond “grandpa me have a little ting roll up for us” now you and him are together, I know he will take good care of you, but it wasn’t your time!! So young and didn’t get to live out the plans you had. I will miss playing WARZONE with you and Naldo. Never ever thought I would be seeing people write rip comments under your photos, that made me sick u were just in my studio with me getting your new video game tattoo.. I’ll never forget you & I can’t stop hearing your voice in my head. Kiss daddy for me too. Love you forever Steffie"

Dance Hall Magazine has also reported that Gregg suffered from an autoimmune disease which led to complications when she contracted Covid-19. She passed away on Tuesday, August 31.
