That’s sad, suicide is never the answer,
Suicide tho…..damn shame. #RIP
5mil in debt The better or for worse part of those vows flew out the window So it seems unless he had a deep relationship with God and had strong faith…sadly this is the result!
Hip hop is a rough biz. You cannot be weak, and survive in that business for as long as he did. I wonder what was so bad in his life to make him choose that route?
