Vic Mensa’s heartfelt reaction to Fredo Santana’s death

He was my age, 27, when he died. I've abused drugs heavily through the years, to the point where I didnt remember the names of girlfriends I had for months at a time, didn't remember getting my college degree, etc. I've had 15+ seizures trying to quit Xanax, and have been sober for 2 fucking months for the first time in years. I feel like I can relate to him because were the same age, and I have heavy PTSD. I'm shocked he's dead. News flash to everyone out there living life, this is the age when people start calling it a night if youre heavy into drug abuse. Had to go to a funeral for one of my best friends 2 days before Christmas cause of this shit. Fredos death is an eye opener to me for sure. It reminds me that even though I feel and look young, the next night could have been my last if I never pulled the breaks. A lot of the damage I've cause will be ever lasting. I'm sorry he's dead, and I wish everyone that is hooked or abusing opiates or benzos wakes up and gets help.
