Comedian Gabe Lopez paid tribute to Singh with an Instagram post, writing, “One of the sad facts of life is you get to a point where life stops giving you things and starts to take them away. Kabir was so much more than a friend, he was my little brother.”
Lopez continued, “He would make me laugh as much as he frustrated the shit out of me. He was a generational talent with a huge heart. He would give 100 hugs to everyone he loved, and he loved everyone! I’ll have a ‘shotty shot’ of Jack Daniels in your honor at The Dirty. Keep an eye on Kim and your family, little brother. And please say hi to Ralphie for me. I love you Kabir. I’m gonna miss you buddy…”
Comedy duo Cory and Chad, known as The Smash Brothers, also took to social media to remember Singh.
