'90s legend Young Bleed has reportedly died at the age of 51.

His son, Ty'Gee Ramon, confirmed his demise in a statement on Instagram on Monday, November 3. He said that his dad died over the weekend, having succumbed to complications from a brain aneurysm. He also said that his father did not have any ailments before that, save for high blood pressure.

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native now leaves behind Ty'Gee and a 10-year-old son. Details about the family are scarce, including the rapper's other kids, though he reportedly shared his youngest with Tameka Long, aka Madamm Meek.

She served as the President of his records company, Trap Door Entertainment, and Fandom Wire has reported that she is an actor and recording artist. One of her credits includes Faces of Rap Mother.


Everything we know about Young Bleed's shocking demise:

Born Glenn Clifton Jr., TMZ has reported that he was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Las Vegas.

“My dad was 51 years old when this happened to him,” Ramon said on Instagram. “My dad was never in and out of the hospital… This is something you can’t prepare for.”

Rolling Out has reported that Young Bleed is most known for his 1998 album My Balls and My Word, though he was active until 2020. His last album to come out was Signs N’ Wonders. He also founded his own record label in 2010, and was one of the performers at this year's No Limit Soldiers Reunion concert. He was seen this month at the No Limit and Cash Money clash at Verzuz at ComplexCon.

Ahead of his demise, the rapper's mother launched a GoFundMe to help with his hospital expenses. She set out to raise $9K.

"Rip to the biggest legend I kno…. Young bleed!!! Love u Dad so much and will definitely miss u… but imma carry the torch from here I got u #youngbleed #mydad # #myfather @therealyoungbleed I’m glad he went out in style!!!! One time fa the one time," Ty'Gee added.

The rapper's sister, Tedra Johnson-Spears, also took to Facebook shortly before his demise to ask that fans give her and her family some privacy:

"THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST POST, WE ARE RECEIVING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CALLS ABOUT MY BIG BROTHER GLENN, TANK, YOUNG BLEED. IF YOU HAVE NOT CALLED HIS MOTHER PERSONALLY PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT HIM OUR FAMILY ASK THAT YOU RESPECT OUR PRIVACY AND HOLD ALL CALLS AND TEXT AT THIS TIME HE IS STILL CURRENTLY IN ICU AND HIS MOTHER ASKED IF YOU ALL WOULD RESPECT HER WISHE AND NOT MAKE ANY RIP POST," she penned.
