The news of Juice Wrld’s death is still rippling throughout the Hip Hop community, with countless social media tributes going up around the clock.
Although his official cause of death has yet to be determined, the multi-platinum rapper reportedly took “several unknown pills” prior to the fatal seizure he suffered at Chicago’s Midway Airport on Sunday (December 8). Investigators also discovered a bottle of codeine on the private plane that was carrying Juice and his entourage.
Drake is one of the many celebrities who paid tribute to Juice on Instagram. In the caption, he lamented the early deaths of so many young artists.
“I would like to see all the younger talent live longer,” he wrote. “and I hate waking up hearing another story filled with blessings was cut short.”
As rapper Tron noted in the comment section, “Our generation is going faster than any .. please let’s help each other no more drugs.” Over the past two years, drug overdoses have led to the deaths of Mac Miller and Lil Peep — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Juice was only 21 at the time of his death, having just celebrated his birthday on December 2. The Chicago native had long struggled with opiate addiction and admitted he was struggling with lean.
In a July tweet to his then-girlfriend Ally Lotti, he wrote, “Bae I’m sorry I be tweaking, you’ve put up with more than ppl know I know I be scaring you, fuck Codeine I’m done. I love you and im letting it be known publicly that ain’t shit fucking up the real love I found. Learn from this everyone. Addiction kills all but you can overcome.”
The Cook County Medical Examiner is expected to do an autopsy on Monday (December 9) to confirm his cause of death.
Damn, that’s awful. Too many dying from drugs, when is it gonna stop?
Gee Drake the fake. What am amazing thought Smh. Clown
You know what man. This whole Juice WRLD thing is getting all of this press because he was successful. Do y’all know how many “not successful” or “not yet successful“ people there is out here who die EVERYDAY? This dude popped a zillion pills then had a seizure because of it. Boo hoo. Dude was grown, so there is no sympathy on my behalf anymore. Niggas out here dying everyday from bullets and shit. Bunch of niggas getting stabbed and shot to death. Dying because you popped one too many pills gets no sympathy from me. Shit. You caused your own death being a fucking junkie. That nigga Juice WRLD should have been selling drugs instead of using them. He would still be here. And of course Drake culture vulture, forever clout chasing, wave riding ass gotta say something like he is the king ruler of the world. Instead of these corny ass IG tributes, you phony industry “friends” should have been reaching out to the Lil homie to let dude know to stop abusing drugs. There’s a huge difference between user and abuser. Dude died because he popped too many pills and drunk too much lean- tough break. Nigga, if you were sober, ya junky ass would still be here enjoying ya fruits but, naw. You dead because you were a fucking zombie of a follower. Future told you to sip lean and pop pills and now you dead while Future is alive and well. Future finessing Lil niggas out of their lives man. Didn’t Future and Juice WRLD put out a project titled “WRLD on Drugs”? Juice WRLD glorified that shit. Just look at the album cover of WRLD on Drugs. No more sympathy or empathy from me. Ya live fast and ya die fast nigga.
