John Lennon too

[@deedee-tc4fh]

George Michael was 100% murdered on Christmas day in the UK... They also killed his sister 3 years later on Christmas Day..

[@sexxymixxedgurl49]

John Lennon was shot and we know who did it. But with other icons also were considered overdoses supposedly James Brown was supposedly congestive heart failure, pneumonia but they did find residue of a substance in James Brown bath tub the nurse said I just watched ID channel James Brown mystery.

[@onefatstratcat]

man.. I don't feel good about this

[@c.calliecoleman1531]

Me either. Especially nowadays, with so many famous people getting murdered, seeming like hits, but giving us the okey dokey, it was a lone gunman, and famous people suddenly dying. Especially in the entertainment field, where there is known crooked control tactics used, and autopsy should be performed. I would pray that James Brown had just closed his eyes and died peacefully, on a blessed day, Christmas Day. Then again it could have been done ,at someone else's hand, and thinking we would just say he died peacefully on Christmas Day. So much is coming to light, in 2019, that you never know.

sounds like congestive heart failure. fatigue, fluid on the lungs, drug abuse? all it would have taken was one time doing a drug after the hospital visit. he was in his 70's?

[@mikeyseo]

Cristo Davis dont u find it curious. 2 famous black ppl die mysteriously of the same cause. Not too far apart And that cause is pretty fucking rare as it is. I get pneumonia once every decade or so. Been through 3. It sucks. But it shouldnt kill u. Dying from pneumonia, only happens in infants. I was 10 when i first got it. Still pulled through. These are grow ass adults. Would u trade your life for fame? How about the mother of yur children?

@@mikeyseo it's most definitely interesting n weird...being honest with you I am a conspiracy theorist so TRUST me I know where you are coming from...sometimes I sit back n think is it really worth it, seriously? There was even a supposed leaked HIV results document from a huge medical insurance provider a few years back that had a lot of famous names on it n you guessed it Diddy was on there...you can Google it...NOBODY in Media ran with the story or spoke on it bc some HUGE names were on it n it's like the rumor just disappeared...so some ppl think it was from that also....smh who knows...its a lot that the regular Joe's like myself will truly NEVER know about....GOD bless em all is all I can say #justMYthoughts
