"You always said you wanted to change the world before you passed, and you did.
"You changed my world, your fans' worlds and so many others."
She added alongside a snap of them together: "The second picture breaks my heart.
"You promised to stay alive for me... you were never good at keeping promises but that was just one of your flaws that made you, you.
"I’m going to make you a promise I won’t break. I will keep your name alive and so will your fans. We won’t let you die twice."
Alexia also revealed how she witnessed the rising rap star's "heavy drug use" of up to three Percocet pills a day washed down with codeine cough syrup.
She their romance broke down after she tried to get him clean from drugs and he turned violent.
Alexia also alleged that record label bosses in LA were so desperate to sign him they plied him morphine and cocaine.
She said: ";Seven days away from me, he ended up in the hospital.
"One year away from me, and he's dead."
After breaking up with Alexia, Juice moved in with new girlfriend Ally Lotti.

Ally was with him in Chicago when he had convulsions and fell unconscious after a private jet flight from LA to Chicago.
It has been claimed he swallowed a number of Percocet pills to hide them from cops who were waiting to search the plane when it landed at 1.30am on Sunday.
Officers gave him Narcan opioid antidote and he woke but died later in hospital.

Ally wrote: “ 'Tell me you love me, tell me everything gon be okay' you not going nowhere -j "
