AceShowbiz - As Julio Foolio's loved ones continue mourning his death, his girlfriend appear to be taking it hard. Mani B has spoken up on the devastating loss via her social media page, expressing her feelings in a series of heart-wrenching posts.
Seemingly struggling to come to terms of the rapper's tragic passing, Mani wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "This s**t so unreal I just woke up and smiled and tried to wrap my arm around my boyfriend and realized his a** not even alive OR next to me [broken heart emojis]."
A day before this, Mani, also known as Mani love on her social media account, lamented, "Y'all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y'all & I won't be the only one crying [broken heart emoji]."
Meanwhile, Foolio's mother broke her silence on Tuesday. Over on her Instagram page, Sandrikas posted a lengthy message that confirmed plans to share her son's "real" story in a documentary. "RIP Son … Charles Jones II 'Foolio' The 'Real' Life Story Documentary Coming Soon," she wrote.
Sandrikas continued, "The story that only I can tell because I know the Truths from the Fakes, I think Im the 'ONLY' mother that keep it Real while MOST others know dam well what was going on with their OWN sons , this been going on since 2014-2015."
"Some of these same women 'Celebrating' your death is some of the same Women looked up to me , sitting in my building I was their TEACHER and they were my STUDENTS at a Big Grown Age taking notes, not lets forget that!!!" she claimed. "The same women that was buying your CDs for their kids, lets not forget that!!! These same women sons did the same thing you did went tit for tat on this drill music in which I NEVER Condoned."

"10 plus years ago u started this music stuff in Jax Fl and had all the teen parties turnt, caught mega buses to ATL at 16 for your career. I think your 1st interview their was with DJ Small Eyes. But Ill talk about this later in the Documentary," she teased.
