Neymar and millions of fans are in mourning on Monday.
Brazilian artist MC Kevin, followed by nearly 10 million people on social networks, tragically died Sunday evening after falling from the 11th floor of a hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
According to local press, 23-year-old Kevin Nascimento Bueno succumbed to his injuries after being taken care of by firefighters.
He had performed on Saturday evening a last show in the most famous of Brazilian cities.
On his social networks, Neymar paid tribute to MC Kevin, a few hours after scoring against Reims at the Parc des Princes (4-0).
The number 10 of PSG was one of the idols of the artist, who had the initials "NJR" (Neymar Junior) tattooed on his left bicep.
MC Kevin was regularly displayed in the colors of the capital club on the Web.
“Incredible, 23 years old…, wrote Neymar on his Instagram account this Monday morning.
I don't know what to say… Simply thank you for the affection you had for me […] We had agreed to meet during my vacation but unfortunately we will not be able.
I'm sure I'll give you a hug and thank you for trusting.
Go in peace my boy ”.

Other footballers, such as Marquinhos or Vinicius Junior, closely followed MC Kevin's career. The latter was married two weeks ago. An investigation is opened by the Brazilian police to determine the causes of his death.
