PAFollowing his death, Lil Peeps’ brother said:
We [the family] have heard there was some sort of substance he did not expect to be involved in the substance he was taking. He thought he could take what he did, but he had been given something and he didn’t realize what it was.
It was an accident, it really was an accident. He was super happy with where he was in life.
Close friends and family members gathered together recently to celebrate the life of the 21-year-old rapper who was known his eclectic fashion style, as well as his music. They gathered in his hometown, in New York for a memorial service where attendees sang their praises for the young man.
His grandmother described him as ‘the first and only’ who has ‘arguably left behind a legacy’ which ‘will have a far greater impact’.
Lil Peep’s mother, Liza Womack, described her son as someone who she’s immensely ‘proud of’ and even though he’s passed ‘he has surely left us a lot of wonderful material to review and consider’.
