Admittedly I never ventured deep into his music but I liked some of his songs like Armed & Dangerous and Wasted. Died of a seizure? I'm gonna guess it was all the lean he drank. Tragic that he had to spend his final moments at Midway Airport. RIP. For the 25 and under crowd, this may be the biggest celebrity death of the year. And if the Twitterverse is any indication, for the Generation Z crowd, his death ranks up there with the likes of Elvis Presley and John Lennon, or at the very least, is on par with Tupac Shakur (that's obvious, given both are hip hop artists) and Kurt Cobain (which makes sense too). It's a generational thing, and Juice WRLD's untimely death is HUGE on the teen and tween crowd and early 20s. Like I said, you'd think it was Elvis or John Lennon who died. BTW...drugs are suspected to be involved in his death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was quite popular, but it's an overstatement to compare him to any of those 4. If Drake or Post Malone were to die then maybe they would have that impact. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j0neseur0 118 Posted March 25, 2020 Manchester based Bugzy Malone has been in, seemingly, quite a serious motorcycle crash. Can't find an article to link to but a video of the mangle/aftermath is causing debate on Twitter over A. Why would filming be your go to reaction to a friend coming off his bike? B. Why are you out playing on bikes during quarantine (ish) time C. You've now crashed and become a burden on an already crushed NHS. Anyway he's not dead, condition not yet confirmed though.
