You gave us so much that we will spend years and years studying you, writing to you, reading you, rhyming to you," Residente declared on his Instagram account, alongside a video of his meeting with Mujica.
"I wish I had a little of your courage to live as freely as you. I'm going to miss you so much. You can't imagine how much," the rapper and songwriter concluded.
For her part, Kany García wrote on her Instagram story: "Goodbye Pepe."
