In a video he posted on Wednesday of Elleven kissing the newborn, Broadus wrote "Kai Love 9/15/19 - 9/25/19," according to E! "My son Kai brought so much love and positivity into this world. His energy will live on and these 10 days of love will always be special to us. Let's all cherish life and those we love while we are here. Thank you."

In a post on Friday, Broadus wrote that Kai died in his arms. 

"He has now graduated and continuing to do work," Broadus wrote. "He died in my arms and that feeling of energy will never leave me."

Broadus wrote that he and his partner Soraya were "given an angel like Kai and now we will use his energy to raise 11 to the best person she can be for ALL of us."
