Frost Says He Knows How Eazy-E Contracted AIDS

Los Angeles, California rapper Frost, who was signed to Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records imprint, says that he knows how his former label boss contracted AIDS, the virus that led to Eazy-E’s death in March of 1995.

“I’ma tell you what happened with Eazy getting AIDS and I believe this to the day and I believe this to this day,” Frost says during an interview for the forthcoming For The Record: The Story of Latinos in Hip Hop documentary that was published on Siccness.net. “I don’t care if you guys got it on film. You can tell the world. They gave him tainted needles with acupuncture. Needles that tainted him, they gave it to him.”

Frost says that the reason why Eazy-E was getting acupuncture was because of an injury that the rapper sustained as a result of an incident that happened while he was riding 4-wheelers.

“What happened was is that someone, I won’t say the name, but people know the name,” Frost continues. “I don’t wanna say that name ’cause it’s the devil’s name, but another person in Rap, if you know you’re history of Rap, calls him the devil. If you know the history of Rap, West Coast Rap, you know who I’m saying. I was told even in my last conversation from Eazy not to even talk to that man. Not only that, but I think that they really had a stronghold of giving him tainted needles with the AIDS virus in him with acupuncture.”
