Glenn Clifton Jr., known as rapper Young Bleed, passed away at the age of 51 after suffering a brain aneurysm. He collapsed at an afterparty following his recent performance in Las Vegas and died on November 1.
Young Bleed’s eldest son, Ty’Gee Ramon Clifton, confirmed his father's death on Monday night via an Instagram Reel, aiming to address false narratives about the incident.
“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, informed TMZ that the rapper was hospitalized days after performing at ComplexCon’s Cash Money Verzuz No Limit event.
Clifton added that his father had no major health issues, only high blood pressure managed with medication, and described the aneurysm as a natural incident triggered after the afterparty:
“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.”
He confirmed the cause of death as a brain bleed from the aneurysm following the collapse.
Though uncertain about all details leading up to the death, Clifton expressed an intention to learn more about aneurysms for better understanding:
“Like I said, my dad was never in and out of the hospital.”
Young Bleed’s passing marks a significant loss for the hip-hop community, particularly given his legacy and influence.
