11 Year-Old Boy Battling Cancer Facetime Drake, The Weeknd, J Cole Before He Died

Drake, J Cole & The Weeknd Facetimed 11-Year-Old Battling Cancer Before He Died

Over the years, cancer has taken lives of many and still counting. The latest loss to cancer was of an 11 year old boy Elijah, who had the chance to meet three of his favorite artists before passing away this week.

Elijah was opportune to facetime with Drake, J. Cole, The Weeknd, and 2018 Nascar Cup driver Joey Logano before he died this week.

Elijah’s mother, Kiara Swope, shared photos of her son speaking to Drake on Facetime as well as a video of 2018 Nascar Cup Driver Joey Logano who said that he wanted to visit Elijah in person but wasn’t able to travel due to social distancing.

Elijah’s cousin, Michael Watson II, also shared a video of Elijah speaking to J Cole and The Weeknd, both of whom applauded him for his courage.

“Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience,” Watson wrote. “Elijah’s physical fight is now complete, as he transitioned to heaven on Friday. He didn’t leave this world without knowing how much he was loved though. Last weekend, Elijah got to “meet” 3 of his favorite artists, The Weeknd, J. Cole, & Drake.

Our prayers are with Elijah’s family, may his soul rest in peace!

Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience. Elijah’s physical fight is now complete, as he transitioned to heaven on Friday. He didn’t leave this world without knowing how much he was loved though. Last weekend, Elijah got to “meet” 3 of his favorite artists — The Weeknd, J. Cole, & Drake. Incredibly grateful for these 3 super-humans being so caring for my family during this time. We’ll hold onto these moments forever. A special thank you to the angels, Kathryn & Krystal for helping make this happen in such a short time. Please lift Kiara, Elijah’s mom, and the rest of the fam up in your thoughts & prayers. In a time where there seems like so much is out of our control, one thing that we all have the power to give + show others is LOVE. 2 Corinthians 5:8
