Days later, his wife told local media outlets that doctors were weening the rapper off his ventilator. It seemed like a good sign, but she also said he would have an uphill battle to recover and be released. It’s unclear if he was ever released from the hospital.
DJ Clark Kent remembered his friend’s skills, saying … “His wordplay was INCREDIBLE. He was easily one of the most dangerous MC’s around. Lately, he was battling this horrible virus. Today he lost the fight • Rest In Power To One Of My Favorite MC’s.”
Fred The Godson, AKA Gordo, was 38 years old. Fred is one of many celebrities to have contracted the deadly virus. Unfortunately, he did not see the end of it. RIP Fred The Godson.
