Young Bleed — whose real name was Glenn Clifton Jr. — made the No Limit side proud with an energetic performance.

Alas, it would be his final time taking the stage, as Clifton lost consciousness at an after-party and never recovered.

Ramon explained that due to the timing, it’s been widely rumored that drugs were involved.

He insists, however, that his father died of natural causes:

“People thought it was deeper than that, but it was more of a natural thing,” he said.

Clifton’s condition was first revealed by fellow rapper Master P, who posted about his longtime friend and collaborator while he was still in the ICU.

“@snoopdogg and I was just talking about how we have to love eachother while we here! We just turned up with our brother @therealyoungbleed @verzuztv,” he wrote, adding:

“Thanks for all y’all prayers and we need more prayers for him and his family as he fights in ICU #GodGotUs #NoLimitSoldier Tell your people you love them every time they walk out the door.”

Our thoughts go out to Young Bleed’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.
