Rapper Young Bleed, who has been hospitalized for the past few days following a brain aneurysm, has passed away at the age of 51 (via TMZ). Bleed, real name Glenn Clifton Jr., hailed from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The How You Do That rapper recently performed at the Cash Money Verzuz No Limit event at ComplexCon before his hospitalization.
The news of his passing was announced by his son, Ty’Gee Ramon, on Instagram, who shared the “unreal” news that his father had “gained angel’s wings” on Saturday, November 1.
He revealed that his father “was never in and out of the hospital” except for a high blood pressure. Bleed’s mother also earlier shared that his hospitalization was completely unexpected and started a GoFundMe for the rapper. Ramon shared:

His younger sister, Tedra Johnson-Spears, earlier asked fans for privacy on a Facebook post. Her comments came after false reports of the rapper surfaced on the internet. She asked fans to respect her family’s wishes and not to call or text the rapper’s mother or other family members.
