Juice WRLD tragically died on Sunday (8 Dec) at the age of 21 after suffering a seizure, and it appears he predicted his own untimely death in one of his songs.
Juice WRLD dead at 21 after suffering seizure
In 2018's 'Legends', which featured on the Chicago-born rapper's EP 'Too Soon' released that year, Juice raps about not "making it past 21".
"What’s the 27 Club? / We ain’t making it past 21”, he raps on the track. "They tell me I’m-a be a legend / I don’t want that title now / ‘Cause all the legends seem to die out / What the f*** is this about?"
The infamous '27 Club' is a term used to refer to the growing group of legendary musicians who passed away at the age of 27, including Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain.
Tragically, the song 'Legends' was written in honour of rapper XXXTentacion, who was shot dead in 2018 at just 20-years-old. The EP itself was also dedicated to rapper Lil Peep, who died in 2017 at the age of 21 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and Xanax.
At the beginning of December, the rapper tweeted, "This life is yours do what tf you want do great things and change the world don’t let no one tell you SH*T.. and you’ll be bigger than “juice wrld” will ever be, and he’s going down as a legend - Jarad."
