His son, Young Bleed, confirmed in an emotional Instagram video that he had passed away at the age of 51.
A prominent rap star has died aged 51 after suffering from complications due to a brain aneurysm, it was revealed today. Young Bleed, whose real name was Glenn Clifton Jr, passed away on Saturday after being taken to hospital days earlier following a collapse in Las Vegas.
The young artist, whose gold-certified debut album was a Top 10 US hit, developed his rhyming abilities in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from the age of nine. He is credited with producing hits like How Ya Do That, which was a soundtrack to the 1997 film I’m Bout It.
The star’s son Ty’Gee Ramon Clifton confirmed that his father had died in an Instagram video, captioned: “RIP to the biggest legend I know.” Addressing followers in the clip, he said: “As of November 1st, my dad gained his wings. This is a tough topic for me – not sure how it’s going to go. But I am here to clear up a lot of false narratives.”
“I know that all of the people who knew about him were concerned because he was a legend around the world, and they weren’t sure what they heard.” Therefore, I’m happy to confirm that he has gained his wings as his eldest child.
When this occurred, my father was 51 years old. These are just life chapters, not the real issues that My Dad had. I hope that those going through grieving moments will find comfort in this video.
He added: “My dad like most as you get in [older] in age take had high blood pressure. He would take his medicines… Once he collapsed he did pass from the aneurysm, the bleed to the brain.”
One tribute to the star read, “RIP Young Bleed Thank you for everything,” and more than one wrote: Another responded, “Sorry about your dad man. He is unquestionably a legend. You now have to carry the torch”!
A third person called your father, who had it on the microphone, “a real icon.” You and your family are in deep sorrow at this difficult time, and I’m sorry for it.
