Wow, I had thought it was an overdose or something like that.

In a sense it was indirectly.

He was only 26, damn.

I don't know the guy but yeah, he barely got started in life.

I'm more into rap from the 80s and early to mid 90s. I haven't kept up with the newer stuff in over 10 years. So I've never heard of him until now.

All I gotta say is why? It's not like she was the cause of his using.

Sleep Well Burt Reynolds and Bill Daily.
Both of you have given me hours of entertainment and joy.
Thanks for the memories.

All I gotta say is why? It's not like she was the cause of his using.

No but given his (or any) fanbase I think it is obvious some of them will have to find someone else to blame for his own drug abuse habits and since he and Arianna split up naturally it is her fault he made him so depressed he overdosed on drugs even though that was months ago and she had nothing to do with his problem in the first place.

Wow, that comes out of nowhere. I love her; I have a rare DVD of her in Passion, and I've made a point of seeing unreleased performances of her that are stored at the Lincoln Centre library.
