tbh 50 just an oldschool (dealer) dude

in the pre 00s there was no "mental health" or "substance abuse issues"

In the hood, if you did drugs you were considered a weak junkie...
...wasnt no love for em

thats just how it was :manny:

people still see it that way
You didn't grow up or hang out in the hood
Stop speaking on the shyt u don't know

Although the cause of death has not yet been determined, drug paraphernalia was found in the apartment, according to the New York Post. A separate law enforcement source tells PEOPLE that Williams died of a suspected overdose and that officials believe he may have ingested heroin laced with fentanyl.
Williams has been open about his struggles with drug dependency in the past. Raised in the Vanderveer Projects of the East Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn, he was exposed to crime at an early age and developed a drug addiction in his teens.

Even without the Fentanyl, Heroin users are always at high risk of overdose especially when they stop using for a while and go back to it. The body changes tolerance levels and cant handle the heroin doses the user was accustom to before they stopped.

Sad all the way around. RIP

I was absolutely shocked when I heard the news. Incredible actor. Omar was one of the most compelling and memorable characters to ever grace the screens during the golden age of television. Just about everything that came out of his mouth was a quotable.

Godspeed to Michael.



RIP

THAT FENTANYL TOOK OUT
DMX, SHOCK G
AND NOW
OMAR.
:devil:
:evil:

Prince too.

Growing up I was so use to brothers dying in their 70s, 80s and 90s

now brothers are dying before retirement age like it’s normal
Yeah, it seems like people who grew up in the middle of crack, or post-crack era, are dying over crazy things. Obesity, drug use, lack of mental help. Its absurd that the life expectancy of black people (black males, particularly) is rapidly dropping. If it aint street life, it's health issues as you get older.

He was just in a movie with an addict who relapsed and died in his whip at the airport

Again, I don’t condone what 50 said, and I truly believe he’s a sociopath... but in terms of being a REAL street dude, I understand him. He ain’t never gon change, and I’m not 1 to try and filter rappers... it’s his truth and who he is... never believed anything about dude was a facade or act. He’s a true sociopath, and he was given an outlet
