We loved Jarad with all of our hearts and cannot believe our time with him has been cut short,” Wallace told TMZ. “As he often addressed in his music and to his fans, Jarad battled with prescription drug dependency. Addiction knows no boundaries and its impact goes way beyond the person fighting it. Jarad was a son, brother, grandson, friend and so much more to so many people who wanted more than anything to see him defeat addiction.”
The troubled talent – who openly spoke of his battle with drug addiction – shot to fame in 2018 when his first hit Lucid Dreams barrelled into the US charts at No2 and No10 in the UK.
The American rapper, singer and songwriter was born in Chicago on December 2, 1998.
Early this year 2019 the rapper replaced Future as the guest act on Nick Minaj’s European tour which spanned 19 dates. Juice Wrld was one of the youngest highest paid rappers in the industry.His money came mainly from touring and song releases.
Juice Wrld’s family has broken their silence following his tragic death over the weekend.
The rapper’s mother, Carmella Wallace, gave a statement to TMZ on Thursday, explaining that her son — whose real name was Jarad Anthony Higgins — battled with a drug addiction, and that the family was learning to cope with the loss.
Its so tragic and saddening what drug abuse and failing to live a responsible life can do to a human being! From Juice wrld’s tragic death, we the malimwengu family hope and pray that the youth in the world can learn to live a responsible, purpose driven by doing anything they do with moderation. And also more campaigns could be run to save the youth from this menance and also let’s be our brother’s keepers always.
May Juice wrld rest in power.
