Gillie Da Kid became incredibly emotional during an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game as he listened to Fridayy and Meek Mill‘s “Proud of Me.”
While next to Fridayy in his podcast studio, Gillie and the Philadelphia singer rapped along to the mournful song, with Gillie becoming overcome with emotion as the track progressed.

His emotions boiled over during Meek’s powerful guest verse and he began to cry over the death of his son, YNG Cheese, shouting: “I’ll give all this shit up to get Cheese back!”
At the end of the song, Gillie, with tears in his eyes, said: “That shit touched my heart, man. That shit hit different. Especially when you lose a lot of muthafuckas out here.”

Meek Mill commented on the moving clip on Instagram, writing: “[fire emoji] long live cheese!!! You definitely making him proud.”
“Proud of Me” appears on Fridayy’s new album Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not, which was released last month.
Gillie Da Kid recently opened up about finding out that his son’s killer, a high school basketball star and drill rapper named Noah Scurry, had also been murdered himself.
In an interview with Shannon Sharpe, Gillie was asked if he had met the person who gunned down his son in 2023, to which he gave a surprising answer.

“I’ve never met him. Only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered,” he said.
“The kid had just got shot 17 times. He was walking with his mom and he got murdered. And then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first.”
He added: “He had to deal with God, that’s how I look at it.”
When Sharpe later brought up the recent death of Scurry, unaware of the connection, an astonished Gillie replied: “That’s who killed my son… Yeah, the 17-year-old basketball player that just got shot 17 times, that’s who killed my son.”

Scurry’s death, which occurred in Philadelphia last month, made national news as he was a promising athlete and straight-A student. The teen was killed during a shooting while on his way to school with his mother.
Police have yet to comment on if there is any relation between the two shootings, although Gillie believes they were unconnected.
