The rapper has had a history or addiction to prescription cough syrup, also known as "lean", and was recently treated for kidney and liver complications (TMZ). Fredo is best known for being one of the pioneers of "drill" music and being the cousin of popular Chicago rapper, Chief Keef.

Saddens my heart to see another hip-hop artist dead. Hopefully this will deter others others from dabbling with prescription drugs. What do you guys think?
