The Unfortunate Demise of Twins Irish and Orish Grinstead (of 702)

Detailing the lives, careers and deaths of the 702 twins.

[@justifiedbyjeury]

For those alarmed at the title, please understand that I have an “Unfortunate Demise” series on this app detailing the deaths of many public figures. And this video is yet another chapter in the series. I can only hope my documentaries are received in the way that I intended: to tell the artists’ stories and give thanks to their many contributions. Thanks and God Bless 🙏🏾💯

[@KrissyJay777]

You have one of the best channels on this app. Keep striving I'm here for it

[@djsmoochie]

This is a fantastic documentary. I learned so many things I knew before. Thank you

[@DevAFreshmen]

I apprecaite the effort you put into these videos! Been here since the Aaliyah documentary. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you for putting so much into the story telling of these artists lives. You paint them wonderfully, with such great detail and admiration. It shows. I learn Keep it up. RIP Orish and Irish.

I actually met Irish at a bank i was working at in 2015 and she had her son with her. She looked even more beautiful in person, as she walked up to my window i froze bc 702 was my favorite girl group and she was my favorite in the group. I asked for her ID processing her transaction, trying to act normal but i couldn't hold it in and asked for a picture of her. She said yes and even included her son Bryce to be in the picture. She gave me a hug and left, its a day I'll NEVER forget. RIP Irish

Cool heard she did some accounting too

[@mikhaltaylor2352]

I think that the twins were born with a condition that was undiagnosed or untreated. Them dying from the same illness (allegedly) is an eerie coincidence.

[@sirisongbird]

The 70s was by far the greatest era of music; the Rennaissance, bc of its vast diversity in culture .. The 90s picked up from the 70s but predominantly black music. Before the 20th century, music was primarily utilized for communication, spirituality and religions practices controlled by the "clergy". Music was created by the 7 natural elements and animals as well. The denigration of music began in the 20th century where a shift of human industrialization to technology took place. Man saw the opportunity to capitalize, control and exploit music. The artist became a disposable commodity. Was given and embraced God status. So, in exchange for spirituality an absolute sellout began by both industry and artist. & Here we are. Souls sold for money and manipulation of the masses. Music was meant to heal not hurt o maim. Now it's a business of thugs on all side.

I knew Irish personally, and we talked quite often even about her health and the death of her twin sister. I last spoke with her on August 7th, and the next thing I know a friend asked did I hear about the girl from 702 passing and my heart just dropped. I miss her dearly and our conversations. She was such a beautiful spirit and soul. She is and will forever be my sister for life. RIP my beautiful butterfly 🦋😭

I lost my twin at 28 , it really takes something from you , almost like you are gone too . when my twin was passing away , they told her she had 6 months to a year to live , she said, “you know they only say that to scare you .” she was trying to be brave for me 🥺 I can’t even explain the feeling , it’s empty but it does (atleast for me) take away the fear of death when you know your sissy is waiting for you . may they rest in peace 💔

In 20:09 when Irish talks about when her twin Sister Orish was in hospice.

What a beautiful tribute! I didn't know the group went through that many changes with their members. It goes to show you how cut throat the industry was during that time. So many girl groups disbanded and replaced others during that time period.

Being twins it’s not far fetched to have the same ailments.. this was sad af tho!! No lie…

[@michaelprovidence9961]

Yes I realized that a few years ago when Unsung did an episode about them. Obviously you age as you get older. Some better than others. But Irish was in her late 30's in the episode. Meesha did put on a bit of weight but she still looked the same. Irish looked different. Like she aged more than the rest

[@latoyiab79]

Yeah, the structure of her face looks different, nothing to do with aging in my opinion. Still beautiful all the same.

[@MrTRIGGD]

Orish and Irish are singing together on the other side. But the case in my family, my paternal grandmother was a twin and when she passed last year it was a Thursday and her twin passed that following Tuesday. They came into this world together and they almost left this world together.

I know this has nothing to do with anything and I apologize in advance if this is inappropriate but can I just say it’s absolutely ridiculous how beautifully black women age. When I saw them in their 40’s I thought this has got to be a joke, because they’ve matured but not in a “she looks older”-way, but in a “omg how is this possible?”- way , if that makes sense.

I was at a fast food restaurant in Vegas because I was stationed at Nellis AFB. Steelo was the jam at that time. Irish came and stood next to me at the restaurant to order her food. I almost passed out. But I simply smiled; it was strange to be standing next to her because of her fame. When I play the song, I tell the story of being in her presence for a short time.

[@lovely12660]

This actually gave me closure. Hearing her say she wanted to go where her sister was going, means, she's where she wants to be. I just hope her Son has the strength to move forward stronger than she was able to do.

[@paulabutler4396]
