50's is looking deadly for brehs

What's going on?
That tour life ain't nothing nice. Hotel after Hotel. Flight after flight. Always eating out. Dealing with managers, promoters. Then trying to balance home life. The stress take it's toll. Plus if I remember correctly he had a substance abuse problem for a while.

I just got hip to dude this year on YouTube. His stuff had me in stitches. Learned about his history and was happy to see him gaining success. I just found out when Ed Lover posted about him passing. It threw me for a loop because breh looked like he was in pretty good shape. The newspaper report said he died at home of natural causes, so it doesn't sound like he just dropped dead of a heart attack somewhere. Sounded like maybe he had been sick or something, but he was still doing interviews and providing content. Condolences to his family. :to:

I only know him from Corey Holcomb roasting him for stealing his jokes.

Yep many comedians have said the tour life is very unhealthy. Lack of sleep, eating bad, stress and etc. You can see it with males who do a lot of business travel and how unhealthy they look.

Even the late Paul Mooney talked about how he always watched what he ate, drank and never did alcohol or drugs cause the road life was so unhealthy.

Yo WTF?! David was one of my favorite follows on social media. Not only cause he was hilarious but I loved seeing the videos with his family.
This is a huge loss to the comedy game but more importantly to his wife Julie and the girls. Hate to hear this man. :mjcry:
