This s**t really whack bro. To be honest with you, rest in peace Lil Peep. There’s people, not just artists, kids, they go through s**t like this. Drug addiction, all this s**t, people get bullied bro. I heard he was bisexual, he was gay, what does that matter what does that concern y’all. I wake up to comments, ‘It should’ve been you instead of Lil Peep.I shouldn’t wake up to s**t like that. I’ll be hated forever. It’s sad the hate that’s in this world, it’s nasty.”
