The unexpected death , the older cousin Chicago rapper , was understandably surprising to hip-hop fans. While the 27-year-old was candid about his struggles with drug addiction — specifically Xanax and lean — the extent his health damages was unclear. The rapper was reportedly suffering from liver and kidney failure, and his  that is believed to have been brought on by his drug use. In turn, fans have been quick to blame codeine cough syrup for the death Fredo Santana, but Chief Keef wants everybody to stop making that assumption.

Taking to Twitter, 24-year-old Chicago drill legend Chief Keef wished that people would stop spreading misinformation about his cousin’s death. 

“N***as say my cousin died lean again and he didn’t I’m fucking beating they ass,” wrote Keef.

As previously stated, cardiovascular disease has been ruled as the ficial cause death for Fredo Santana, not a drug addiction. Thus, saying that he passed away as a direct result lean would be misinformed. However, it is clear that Santana’s use drugs didn’t help his health condition.

Fredo Santana died at 27-years-old on January 19, 2018. His legacy continues to live on as one the most prominent figures in underground Chicago drill rap.
