“It was just like — he’s gone and he’s gonna die, that’s it,” LeeAnn Jemmott said. “I don’t even know how I felt, I just felt like I was going to die. Now, instead of the ventilator supporting him 100 percent, it’s supporting him 70 percent. We need him like he is our strength, he is our good vibes, our positivity. Don’t just assume they are going to die. Because that’s all we are hearing is people dying, dying, dying. He’s winning, he’s winning.”
He ultimately succumbed to the complications just over two weeks later. HipHopDX sends its condolences to the friends and fam of Fred The Godson.
