Joyner Lucas Faults Drugs Glorifying Rappers For Juice WRLD’s Death

Rapper Juice WRLD died at 21 apparently of drug overdose as report has it that he swallowed pills to avoid being arrested by the feds at the airport.

While family, friends and colleagues have been paying tribute to the late rapper, Joyner Lucas felt the need to address the cause of his death.

According to Lucas, Juice WRLD was influenced by rappers glorifying drugs and they should be blamed for his death. He took to twitter to share his thoughts.

“Juice Wrld was 21. He was a product of our generation of rappers who glorified drugs and made it cool,” Joyner wrote. “Im blaming Yal niggaz for this sh*t. [All] that lean and pills niggaz glorify and talk about. You teaching the kids to do it. Smh you happy now?Rip @JuiceWorlddd. Gone too soon.”

Well, many people find sense in his tweet while others think it’s just wrong to blame others for one’s actions. “Blaming others for his own choices? No one forced him to become a drug addict.” a fan replied.

“This is the equivalent to the media blaming Grand theft auto for violence in real life… no one put those drugs in juices body except juice. Theres no one to blame but juice. @LilTunechi is my fav, but ive never once wanted to sip lean or pop pills.We all make our own decisions,” another tweeted in response.

I’m blaming people for not getting him mental help . Nobody pops pills and drinks all the time unless they’re going through some shit and that’s the only way they feel they can cope with the pain

Also, a product of culture in general. Blaming peers or people of influence is moot. Generations have effected where we are at.

It’s not them, it’s us. Black people as a community do not see mental health as a problem so drugs become a coping mechanism for our own trauma. We over use and abuse and die

From the moment he blew up he spoke on abusing drugs until he died. It was a loud cry for help that everyone heard and misinterpreted. He’s spoke on buying laced pills and how the feeling is unreal. Etc. moral of the thought, this goes deeper than just doing drugs for fun. Rip

This dude always trying to sound profound. I see his point but whats lost is ACCOUNTABILITY. We generalize everything too much anymore and im not innocent. Sounds like 45 saying “its the music” while it is a small part, the issue is bigger than that imo.
