Young Bleed's Family Slams False Death Rumors as Rapper Battles for Life in ICU

The 47-year-old hip-hop artist, born Glenn Clifton Jr., recently suffered a major medical emergency, leaving supporters and social media buzzing with concern.

Young Bleed's sister, Tedra, took to Facebook to clarify the situation. "HE IS STILL CURRENTLY IN ICU AND HIS MOTHER ASKED IF YOU ALL WOULD RESPECT HER WISHES AND NOT MAKE ANY RIP POSTS," she wrote.
