With the drug related deaths of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley and the violent deaths of Tupac Shakur and Biggie. In addition to the health related deaths of Big Pun & Heavy D and the recent health scare of Rick Ross & Erick Sermon. When will we see the need to change our unhealthy lifestyle?
In October, Rick Ross suffered two seizures in one day and a little over a month later, we lost Heavy D who died suddenly weighing in at 344 lbs. Although the cause of his death has not been determined I am certain a unhealthy lifestyle played a major roll. Sermon’s health scare came few days after Heavy D’s death. Sermon who is still hospitalized, urged his fans to take their health more seriously. “Go out there and check yourself, it don’t matter what age you are.” stated Sermon.
Understanding MJ and Elvis had a drug problem, Tupac and Biggie had a thug problem and Heavy D and Big Pun had a weight problem, which all leads back to an unhealthy lifestyle. Whether its violence, drugs or bad health, until we decide to make healthy lifestyle changes, we will all be headed down the path of self-destruction. The perfect example of someone making a healthy lifestyle change is Fat Joe. After the death Big Pun and having diabetes for more than 16 years, Fat Joe decided to change his lifestyle, to-date he has lost over 100lbs.
