There were reportedly recent signs he was improving but according to his wife LeeAnn Jemmott, the initial prognosis was grim.

She told News 12, “It was just like — he’s gone and he’s gonna die, that’s it. I don’t even know how I felt, I just felt like I was going to die.”

Fred was 35.

Hip Hop is showing up in droves to express their condolences on social media. Alchemist, Lloyd Banks, Skyzoo and Conway are a few of his peers showing love.

I’ve learned to not question the Universe. And with that understanding I never struggle with life happening just as it is intended to be. I Pray you all don’t misunderstand what it is that I am saying. This is painful for me hearing about two of my brothas transcending all in one morning. ITS A LOT ! By the power of my GOD and teachings & protection from the Ancestors, I Pray you all find peace at this time. I LOVE YOU ALL ! ABSOLUTELY ! Àse ✊??✊?? || RIP @fredthegodsonmusic • GIP @big_blacowt ???
