Kevin samuels died from hypertension

[scorpino]

People should stop drinking caffeine. That shyt is no good for you. I just gave up coffee after drinking it the last 30 years. I was starting to feel tightness in my chest and way too much anxiety.

 

[UpAndComing]

I remember like 6 months before his death, his fans were literally BEGGING him to get an assistant. Like literally begging him either in the comment section or the live stream. He would always reply "I don't need no assistant. I run a million dollar business by myself"

Also there were times when I would see a new video up of his main late night show, then I would see Instagram clips of stuff he would do in the afternoon. Like when does he have time to sleep?

Was it that hard to hire an assistant to be your sound check/mixer/IT guy? And maybe another one who schedules appointments for you?

Then you mix that with a bad diet

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.

But real talk arguing with delusional dingbats for two to three shows (two hours shows) a week got to be bad for your health...

 

[Rayzah]

I’m not trying to be funny but he spent a lot of time dedicated to worrying about big Shirley’s and fat people’s health but ironically he died the way he told them they would go.

That’s not the same thing tho. He didn’t die because he was overweight lazy and sitting around talking about he deserved Beyoncé. He died from working too hard, probably too many Red Bulls, possibly a hereditary thing and ignoring warning signs. At least he was trying, them women are not trying and they will end up the same way if they don’t get it together

Our current system requires men to be thrown into the meat grinder. The amount of work for the amount of pay we get is absolutely criminal. Wage theft is the most underreported and prosecuted crime in the country. In order for this to work, men have to be willing to work themselves to death for far less than what they're worth and be grateful for the opportunity. I hate how the term 'toxic masculinity' has been thrown around because the idea behind toxic masculinity is that there are things that kill men needlessly and make us suffer that we're meant to just shut up and accept or else we're not 'real men' its a bullshyt idea designed to make us grist for the mill.

nikkas dying every day because they can't cook a healthy meal because they're exhausted from 16 hour shifts. nikkas never seeing their kids because they have to be on their feet for 12 hours a day. Dudes getting deployed to go fight in a country that we have no business being in, then being treated like absolute shyt when they come back from service by the same govt. That sent them there. nikkas getting killed in court because of child support payments and alimony, having to take another job to get their basics. Its unsustainable and its not in our best interest.

Real shyt right here

Drugs like Viagra and Cialis actually lower blood pressure not raise it. Viagra was a developed initially as a anti-hypertension drug, but it's side effects "Bone-City" was more marketable.

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up.

I said because I heard he died whilst putting in a shift on a bad bytch. So, I guess he has pre-existing conditioning.

Regardless, it’s a sad way to go out. Especially for a guy whose legend and rise to fame was about holding men and women accountable.

RIP to him and people need to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

It is....thats why nobody will take KS' place.

Most men dont have the patience for it.

Stress hormones gonna be flooding your bloodstream every night.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Lets be honest, most of us eat like shyt.

Its not "the system" or "capitalism"

Sometimes nikkas just eat like shyt, and your body says "enough is enough" and powers off.

Nah, I'm refusing to let them off the hook. If seen many people working long hours having to eat out. If youre driving for uber or doing meal delivery, you're burning calories while doing the work and you need energy drinks and food to stay alert.

We shouldn't even be put in that position in the first place. Americans are working longer hours for less pay and are having less time to even think. I'm not okay with that state of affairs and most men shouldn't be either. I'm blessed with a job that gives me a 1hr lunch break and 8hrs a day so I'm able to make some good meals at home when I get home and sleep for at least 5 hrs a night. I can't say the same about my friends who work at 'fulfillment centers' and who have to be on the road making deliveries and drop offs.

There is no reason for men in Canada or Britain to be living better than us. America is the richest country in the world and it needs to use that money to invest in its people like other countries have successfully done.

Trying to fix the black community every night is a stressful task

 

[Bonk]

I mean a lot of black folks have high blood pressure or high sugar. I think he might’ve been doing too much at his age but I get the impression there were no symptoms before and he probably felt like he was fine. But at the same time I refuse to believe he had no warnings in the days and weeks before.

True.

Yes, there are always warning signs but sometimes when you see p*ssy - everything goes out of the window.

And you’re right about sugar in take and the health issues with us as black people. That’s why I hardly take beverages and whenever I do, I do so because I’m cognisant of the fact that low sugar level in the body can also be fatal. I think from like age 25 - I just changed to water and green smoothies. And I’m used to it now.

Too much redbull

Wow. The redbulls really did kill him. Those are known to elevate your blood pressure.

( But they taste so Bomb)*considers slowing up on them 16/20 oz Red Bulls for Work and/or Sex*

 

[puckkhead]

Get yourself checked brehs. Need to be seeing your doc AT LEAST once a year.

[The Radiant One]

Anyone got a link to the full report I know he had a post coital MI. So htn really added to it. I don't think he exercised much.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

True but like @Mr swag said U can walk into CVS and get a blood pressure strap. Gotta stay up on top of that shyt.
