coronavirus killed your uncle, you killed hip hop. its even now.
I’m bringing it back with my next shit. Check it out.
be interesting to see if his great uncle had any other underlying health problems as well as is the case with most COVID deaths
Yeah in Italy those who died it’s like 99% of them had serious underlying diseases. Any of you CNN social justice warriors can easiy look this up.
Prayers go up to your family. There’s nothing cute about being ignorant. Don’t be mad when someone feel the same about you losing your loved one. Then the joke will be on you. Don’t waste my time responding. Just like I don’t see you, wont hear you either.
I guess nobody dies from anything else these days. I don’t trust shit anymore they tried to say I have covid without even showing me my test results ..
The real reason he’s cut is the fact that he’s wondering why it had to be his uncle and not that baby momma of his that’s wildin and talking smack.
He was probably shot while he was smokin blunts and drinkin fourty oz on the block rolling dice etc. he was then tested positive for covid-19 at the morgue so they be like “omg he died from corona yo” this is how they inflate the stats so they can get the public to just beg to vaccinated!
