Rapper Young Bleed, born Glenn Clifton Jr., passed away at 51 on Saturday due to complications from a brain aneurysm. He had been hospitalized just days before and was on a ventilator in the ICU, according to TMZ.
Tameka Long, mother of their 10-year-old son, explained that the aneurysm resulted from internal bleeding. Young Bleed's son, Ty'Gee Ramon, confirmed the sudden death in an emotional Instagram video on Monday, sharing reflections on his father's legacy in music.
"As of November 1st, my dad gained his wings."
"This is a tough topic for me - not sure how it's gonna go. But I am here to clear up a lot of false narratives."
Ramon noted that Young Bleed did not have serious health issues leading up to his death but did manage high blood pressure with medication. The rapper was best known for hits like "How Ya Do That," featured on the 1997 soundtrack for the film I'm Bout It.
In the Instagram video, Ramon appeared emotional as he sat on a couch, sharing the impact his father had on the music industry and his unexpected passing on November 1.
