Juice WLRD’s personal photographer Chris Long has revealed what the rapper’s last moments were really like, taking to Twitter to dispel several rumours and give us a first hand account or what it was like watching the rapper pass away.
Specifically, numerous witnesses claimed that Juice swallowed numerous Percocet pills in an attempt to conceal them from authorities who were searching his plane for guns and drugs, however, Long has shot those rumours down. Rather, Long claims his death was the result of his addition, and in reality had nothing to do with police.
Taking to Twitter, Long wrote “J did not swallow a bunch of pills because the police were at the airport. We gave no fucks about them being there. He could have flushed them down the toilet if he cared.”
“J was just hooked bad. The amount he took daily was absurd and he hid how much he really took from mostly everyone. Everyone around him tried really hard to get him to slow down. When he agreed to rehab it was because he wanted to lower his tolerance. He didn’t want to stop.”
Long also talked about Juice’s planned trip to rehab that his label boss had organised before his dear, adding “J was supposed to go to rehab that month. We tried so hard to do positive things everyday like ride dirt bikes or paintball to keep busy and not do pills but every night once he hit the studio that was it. He loved it.”
Long admitted he still has trouble coming to grips with Juice’s death, concluding “I can’t stop thinking about him over and over again there on the ground and I was just looking in his eyes that’s how I had to say bye to him. It’s just burned into my brain. I want it to stop.”

He had nothing to worry about. He knew the cops where there before we landed. We put that strap in my bag it was all good I had a clean record and I’m a register owner. I had no problem taking that charge.

I had to watch little bro die at my feet. I had to look in his eyes while he was dying and I could do anything about it.
