RIP.
This group has dealt with so much tragedy. So sad.
They really have.
Rest in peace, JayAre! Isn’t this the same disease T-Boz has?
Yes. And she’s very blessed to still be alive at her age.
Many people with Sickle-Cell can live long lives…but it is a tough disease.

Sickle cell ain’t no joke. RIP.
Ok UB two sad articles in a row…I’m in a sad mood now.
Praying for his family.
Sad. I hate hearing about young people dying from Sickle Cell.
He was so young. Prayers going up for his friends and family. 🙁
I was hoping this wasn’t true when I saw it on Twitter. SMH.
May he rest in peace.
That is a horrible disease to deal with. I’ve seen the pain that people who suffer from it have to endure. I feel so bad for him and his family. RIP
Damn.
Rest in paradise.
Sickle Cell takes a lot of young people out. I’m saddened by this news and I’m praying for all of his friends and loved ones.
