Kukawaki worked with people like the Kardashian-Jenners, Kanye West, Offset, Tupac Shakur's estate, and Nicki Minaj. The latter penned a note about the shocking loss on her Instagram Story.
"Hardest working, most reliable, sweetest person you could ever know," wrote Minaj. "You didn't serve this, Angela. My heart is breaking for your children. Rest In Peace. [praying hands emoji]."
