It’s kinda tasteless and classless to be saying your close friend died of “Whatever they say it is”…Do better than that Ding Dong cuz a close friend would take the time to research every details of their friend’s death enuh ,so it wouldn’t be wateva!!! :hoax2 :malu2
@Yardie, it could be out of frustration why he said it! Maybe there are too many uncertain stories surrounding his passing and I’m almost certain and willing to bet my last dime, that “obeah” is amidst the numerous claims, especially seeing that he was so young, newly found success and judging from my standpoint doctors couldn’t ascertain the illness. Suh ah betta Ding seh dat dan write up di bag ah hear seh, in my opinion ah save him ah try save face! Rest in peace, young man!
:thumbup …oh zeen…maybe.Rest in power Jemarrow.
