Rapper Young Bleed Dies at 51 from Brain Aneurysm
Rapper Young Bleed, whose real name was Glenn Clifton Jr., passed away on November 1 at the age of 51 after suffering a brain aneurysm in Las Vegas. The Baton Rouge-born artist collapsed at an afterparty following his recent performance at ComplexCon’s Cash Money Verzuz No Limit event.
Family Confirmation and Details
His eldest child, Ty’Gee Ramon Clifton, confirmed the news on Instagram, aiming to dispel misinformation surrounding his father’s death.
“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 Clifton.
Tameka “Madamm Meek” Long, who shares a 10-year-old son with Young Bleed, revealed to TMZ that the rapper was hospitalized days after his performance.
Health Background and Circumstances
Clifton explained that his father had no significant health problems apart from high blood pressure, which he managed with medication. The aneurysm reportedly occurred naturally following the afterparty celebrations.
“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.”
Ty’Gee also confirmed the cause of death as the aneurysm leading to bleeding in the brain, adding that his father was rarely hospitalized before this incident.
“Following the collapse, Bleed did pass from the aneurysm, the bleed to the brain. Like I said, my dad was never in and out of the hospital.”
He mentioned plans to research aneurysms to better understand the condition.
