When did Juice WRLD pass away? G Herbo claims singer popped pills out of fear 

Rapper G Herbo has reportedly made claims about rapper Juice WRLD, who passed away on December 8, 2019. The former appeared on the Club Shay Shay Podcast on October 10 for a candid conversation. Juice WRLD, who was born as Jarad Anthony Higgins, reportedly died of an "accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine toxicity", per BBC. The news outlet reported that he sustained a seizure during a police search in his "private jet."

In one part of the podcast, G Herbo revealed he was in "LA" when he heard about Jarad's "accidental overdose." He noted that he was in "disbelief", especially since he "was at the height of success." Thinking about the way he died, G Herbo claimed that Jarad popped the pills out of fear. Expressing his frustration and describing Jarad as a "good a** kid", he noted,

"You're rich as f*ck, Juice. You're rich as a b*tch. You get pulled over by the police and you swallow 50 pills because he's scared. You were going to overcome that sh*t. They ain't give a f*ck about that sh*t. ... I got $50M."

He added,

"I ain't about to go to jail for these little dumb a** pills. It just let you know how pure he was. He didn't know no better. That's what f*cked me up the most. You didn't even have to do that."
