Chicago Emcee and actor Common has always been considered one of those rappers who tried to stay on the positive side of things. But after the loss of his cousin, who died in a motorcycle accident, it has been very difficult for him to stay as upbeat.

Since the death, Common has admitted that the last few day's have been very difficult.

His cousin Ajile Turner died shortly  after his motorcycle collided with another cyclist in Brooklyn, New York this past friday.

After being quite for several day's Common finally responded to fans who had been sending their condolence's. Updating his blog with a new post thanking each and every one of them. 

"Man, I want to thank each and every person who sent their love and condolences about my cousin, Ajile Turner. It has definitely been a tough time for me and my family, but as GOD always does he assures us that everything will be alright. I believe that you all's support is just another way of assuring it. I thank you once again. God Bless."

No further details have been released about Turner's death.
