| Every time one of these idiots dies by a drug overdose I pound it into my kids heads. 90% of young famous deaths are drug related. Never heard of this guy but 70 lbs of weed, multiple assault weapons and he horsed down enough Percocet to kill himself almost immediately...sounds like a drug dealer to me. |
| Kids aren't stupid. They see what happens to the folks who dabble in drugs. Unfortunately there are far too many examples of what can happen to a person when they get involved with substance abuse. |

Yeah he was a boss. All up in that lean but he had a cough.
Fancy clothes, full of floss, coolie high but never at a loss Shawty gonna play and shawty gonna stay but if shawty gonna puff, shawty gotta pay If you're young, you are not bionic Died from lean but had a cough, that's ironic. - Alanis Morrissette |
I guarantee your kids do know, though. Keep your eyes peeled. |
NP. He obviously had some untreated mental illness. My son listens to a bunch of rap and I hate all of it, but for some reasons, Juice WRLD's songs appeal to me. I find myself truly sad at his premature death. |
To many kids, he was a role model. read the lyrics posted above. he's messed up and kids are listening to this crap. The guy had many demons and he is being glamorized. |
great song. no wonder he is so popular with kids. |
| I really don't think he wanted treatment and nothing has been said about a mental illness. Drugs can be a lot of fun and he was having a blast. Private planes etc. he was loving the drug life. It wasn't negatively impactig his life. He seemed to love being high. He had a girlfriend, friends, a career, money etc. |
| I had to set aside my judgment to lean about Juice WRLD because I wanted to understand my teenagers’ feelings. Yes, he wrote songs about drugs and depression. He expressed vulnerability in a culture that doesn’t allow young men, especially young black men, to do that. Many teens and young people are really feeling this loss. |
| Not impressed by the videos posted here. Reminds me a lot of Lil Peep who also died from drugs—musically it all sounds very DIY. |
He openly struggled with mental illness, he tried to get clean, he was self-aware and asked important questions about the way we prescribe powerful drugs to kids from very young ages. Maybe suspend your judgment a bit. If you have teenagers, I guarantee they or their peers are affected by this. |
His name was inspired by the movie Juice, which Tupac starred in. |
Thank you. He wondered about the impacts of the ADHD drug he got prescribed in 5th grade on his well-being. RIP, Juice WRLD. |
Its one thing to struggle with addiction; many artists do. Juice Wrld promoted his abuse; even named himself after his favorite teen drug, thereby glamorizing it to all the kids who looked up to him. And you wonder why the US has an opiod crisis?? (gee thanks, Juice ).
Yet you still want to hold him up as some kind of hero? A poor victim? (the man owned a private jet). |
Who is lauding him here as a hero? Yes, he is a victim of drugs and mental illness, that he had a private jet does not negate that. He was after all just a kid still, at 21, and sadly had access to too much money for his own good. |
