No Limit Records rapper Young Bleed, real name Glenn Clifton Jr., has died at age 51.
As reported by TMZ, Young Bleed's son, Ty'Gee Ramon, shared a tribute to his late father on Instagram on Monday (Nov. 3), confirming the news. He said that his father "gained his wings" on Saturday (Nov. 1) after he suffered a brain bleed from an aneurysm in Las Vegas. He shared that his father never suffered from recurring health issues, but took medicine for high blood pressure.
"My dad was 51 years old when this happened to him," Ramon said. "My dad was never in and out of the hospital... This something you can't prepare for."
Before he died from complications after suffering a brain aneurysm, the mother of his ten-year-old son, Tameka Long, said he was rushed to the hospital and placed in an ICU. The aneurysm was caused by internal bleeding, Long shared.
The Louisiana-born-and-raised rapper, who made his solo debut with his 1998 album My Balls and My Word, had remained active up until 2020 with the release of his album Signs N' Wonders. He launched his own record label, Trap Door Entertainment, in 2010. He also performed at a No Limit Soldiers Reunion concert in June this year, and made an appearance during the No Limit-Cash Money Verzuz at ComplexCon last month.
Young Bleed got his start with No Limit Records in the '90s, gaining attention for his C-Loc collaboration "How Ya Do Dat," which was remixed by Master P. He later signed with P and released his debut album under No Limit, later going his own way with his subsequent solo records.
When reports of his initial health incident first started to circulate on social media, his younger sister, Tedra Johnson-Spears, shared an update on Facebook asking for privacy.
RIP.
