It's like I used to say in the thread when it came to a lot of these Gen X brehs. Always want to be cheap and stingy when it came to spending money. A LOT of brothers I know, including family members, be like that. And these brothers weren't broke either. These brothers be having businesses making 200k+ a year.
Its a control issue too. This is how my dad is

:snoop:Context is lacking in this article. He could have rented an extra room to record and didn’t like the terms. There is a number of reasons he could have been renting an extras room or maybe he was moving around the country and didn’t want a long term lease so he could be on the road.

Who knows why this happened

Edit- I actually watched the video and read the documents :camby::camby:


but if you think that this happened because he was broke, then you don’t understand how any of this works. He made too much money for any amount of child support or rent to really be an issue for him. And we all know how nasty child support is to men, you not going to sit here and act like someone fighting their case is automatically in the wrong.

I don’t know shyt but I’m not going to sit here and assume the worst based on that clip. That’s hating in my opinion

Why fasting and for how long? Does she eat like shyt or something or does it really help with that type of stuff?
She actually eats very healthy. She's just as sickly person. Fasting is where you do not eat for a certain about of time. You can fast for however long you'd like and has many benefits.



Fasting can help with weight lose, has shown to help with cancer, inflammation and many other thing. I do intermittent fasting for 18 hours a few times a week. Vitamins and minerals should be taken with long term fasting (days, weeks, etc)

I have a coworker who drinks a gallon a day who is in her late 20s and has chronic inflammation and asthma. She is always sick with a cold and just got over covid. I just put her on to fasting. Hopefully it helps. She's very sickly
Fasting is the solution to a ton of health issues but fasting discussions on this site always devolve into immature dumb ass arguments

yea can't even blame lack of information at this point
we all know sugar and caffeine are basically drugs and still consume it willingly
the most popular spots in a black community will serve some alfredo covering turkey legs, or salmon/crab soaked in some salty creamy ass alfredo sauces
then all the "soul food" we grew up eating is basically trash for you
we gotta get on top of the heart disease and diabetes in the community
Soul food is actually fine. If soul food was always the problem why didn't nikkas start dropping dead till the 80s.

Like I mentioned earlier the real issue is lack of activity and yes, sugar is the devil. The salt and the fat are fine but too much sugar in addition to the fat and salt is a bullet to the heart

The increase of sugar in the American diet over the past 30 years is killing everybody

could have just googled life expectancy by decade instead of saying something obviously wrong
all races live longer now, for a variety of reasons. ton of black people were dying prematurely of "natural causes" back in the day and didn't have access to healthcare to diagnosis what was going on
problem was so bad Elijah Muhammad was inspired to write a whole book to teach black people nutrition

Kevin Samuels rise to fame was very weird to me. I knew dude from the "fragrance community". He used to review fragrances on YouTube and had like less than 10K subs. Then I come back a year later and his channel had grown exponentially.

He found a niche coupled with the right timing blew up, it's not weird at all

A few things I've heard mention over the years about him from different content creators:
  • He rarely slept more than a few hours, always up all night
  • Mostly ate fast food
  • Always reaching out to brands for fragrances etc.
  • Always looking to collaborate with other Youtubers
Seems like he just put his body into overdrive at 50+ years old, add the stress of dealing with callers (for a while he was doing 4 hour streams 5 days a week) and all the hate thrown his way. Only so much your body can take.
Also keep in mind he was a cancer survivor and during Covid dude life changed ALOT. I have heard he used to be really active and in his older videos you can see he was slimmer. During covid or close around that time, he moved from Oklahoma to Atlanta, that will mess up your routine until you find new spot to workout, you can see he gained weight (dude was 6'4 for that to show you probably have to gain 40+pounds), dude channel TOOK THE fukk OFF, started going harder and making videos sometimes 5 times a week (3 nights youtube, twice on IG), started traveling alot, which means he was eating on road most likely, slept very little. That weight gain, stopped working out or cycling, little sleep is a bad combo for someone 50+.. RIP to the brother and other black men need to take their health much more seriously

It's not simply the salt.

American diet gets enough blame but far too little attention is paid to the overall lifestyle. Nikkas don't move anymore

Human beings weren't meant to sit down for 8+ hours a day but what do most Americans do? You sit in a car to drive to work, if you work at a desk you sit there all day, then nikkas go home and sit down watching TV till they sleep and repeat the cycle. Sitting is literally killing nikkas.

Humans were built to walk, run, squat, and jump. Get yo ass up

Nikkas also seem to hate water. Americans eat fast food all week and get drunk every weekend then everybody's shocked when a nikka drops death at 46. Organs dried up and struggling because you can't even bother to drink a liter of water a day

We need salt to survive. But if your most significant movement of the day is walking to the car and the bathroom and Sprite is your main source of hydration you got some hard times ahead

Agreed. Sedentary lifestyles are killing moat Americans prematurely. We need 4 day workers so that workers can spend the 3 days off every week exercising

Just because bruh was slim doesn't mean he was healthy...
If you watch his videos and compare pre covid when he in okla and cycling more to when he blew up, you can see he gained weight. When you 6'4 for weight gain to be apparent, you need to put on 30 plus because your frame allow you to hide weight well before it start to show.

Energy drinks are just caffeine, sugar, amino acids, and b-vitamins. None of these things are enough to cause hypertension. In fact, ingredients like the amino acid taurine help with hypertension. People are unnecessarily afraid of caffeine in particular even though caffeine consumers live longer than non-caffeine consumers.

Kevin Samuels was likely just genetically unlucky (and I don't like blaming genetics on things) since he also got cancer when he was in his 20s (iirc).

Take care of yourselves brehs.

You see it, I love the way posters are pointing to Red Bull as the sole reason for his passing, it's like they are reassuring themselves that if they stay away from energy drinks they will avoid his fate. The bottom line as black men we need to take our health seriously and start getting checks. A lot of posters here are 30+ with families and have no damn excuse to not be vigilant
