Jackson and Floyd were close friends, and Jackson used his platform to raise awareness about Floyd’s murder and fight for justice. Jackson is helping raise Floyd’s daughter, Gianna.

When asked how Gianna is doing these days, Jackson provided an update and thanked some of his celebrity friends who have shown support, including Kyrie.

“She’s getting so much love — not just from us, but from people all around the world who are showing support,” Jackson said. “I’m just continuing to do what I said I was going to do; I said I was going to be my brother’s keeper and take care of his daughter and make sure that her next days are her best days. A lot of my friends [have helped]. Kyrie Irving bought them a house. Lil Wayne’s manager bought them a Mercedes Benz. Barbra Streisand gave them stock in Disney.

“I think God has definitely blessed her. I think she’s doing the best she’s ever done; she’s happy. We’re just waiting for this trial to get out of the way, so she doesn’t have to keep reliving the situation and she can go about living her life.”
