Gillie Da Kid Says His Son's Death Made Took Him To Adulthood

Gillie Da Kid says the moment he washed his late son's body in tradition with Islamic faith was his lowest moment in life but he also says enduring the tragedy officially took him to adulthood. His son 25-year-old rapper YNG Cheese, was shot and killed in Philly back in July. Before his death, Gillie says he thought he understood the concept of being a man taking the reins providing for his immediate family and even supporting several non-relatives. he says going through the body-washing process opened his eyes, "and that day, I became a man." Gillie also tearfully thanked fellow Philly rapper Freeway for standing by his side, and helping him through what he calls the hardest thing he's ever had to do. Despite the unimaginable grief, he's confident he sent his son off the right way.
