Rapper Young Bleed, born Glenn Clifton Jr., passed away on November 1 after suffering a brain aneurysm. The Baton Rouge-born artist collapsed at an afterparty following a recent performance in Las Vegas.
“I knew with him being a legend worldwide, a lot of people were concerned for him, so I’m here to confirm as his oldest child, that he has gained his wings. My dad was 51 years old when this happened to him,” said Ty’Gee Ramon Clifton, Young Bleed’s eldest child.
Ty’Gee Clifton explained that his father did not have significant health problems, aside from high blood pressure which he managed with medication. After celebrating at ComplexCon’s Cash Money Verzuz No Limit event, Young Bleed attended an afterparty where his condition worsened.
“My dad didn’t have no real health issues. … My dad, like most as you get in age, had high blood pressure. He’d take his medicines and you know, do what he do as a celebrity. After his huge celebration at the Verzuz, went to an afterparty, and that’s where, you know, everything kinda spiked. … It was more of a natural thing.”
Following the collapse, Young Bleed passed away from the aneurysm and brain bleed. His son noted that his father was rarely hospitalized, and he plans to research aneurysms further for better understanding.
Tameka “Madamm Meek” Long, who shares a 10-year-old son with Young Bleed, confirmed he was hospitalized days after his performance at the event.
Young Bleed died at 51 from a brain aneurysm shortly after a performance, with his family confirming his passing and sharing insights into his health and final moments.
