To this day, many people are having a hard time accepting the fact that the legendary Eazy-E died from AIDS. In a bone chilling scene from “Straight Outta Compton”, it was revealed to Eazy-E that he had AIDS, but his family and friends aren’t buying it. Eazy-E’s son, Lil Eazy, is a firm believer that his father died from foul play, possibly a lethal injection.
In a 2003 interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live, Death Row Records founder Suge Knight made a tasteless joke about Eazy’s death stating, “Technology is so high. If you shoot somebody, you go to jail forever. You don’t want to go to jail forever…They have a new thing out. They have this stuff they called…they get blood from somebody with AIDS and they shoot you with it,” the Death Row co-founder told Jimmy Kimmel as his feet were propped up and a cigar in his mouth. “That’s [a] slow death. The Eazy-E thing, you know what I mean?” It’s no secret Eazy-E has seven children with six different children, but did his promiscuous lifestyle lead up to his death?
In late 1993, Eazy-E signed Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to his record label Ruthless Records. Their debut single “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” gained much success and shot to number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Krayzie Bone, Flesh-N-Bone, and Wi$h Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony recently sat down for a interview with VLADTV where they dished on their relationship with Eazy-E, as well as their thoughts on his untimely death.
When asked if they agreed with Eazy E’s son that his father’s cause of death wasn’t AIDS, Krayzie Bone made it quite clear that he felt the same way stating, “I know people can live with HIV for years and look healthy, but when you’re about to die from full-blown AIDS, you’re gonna look like you’re gonna die from AIDS… Eazy didn’t look like that at all. Even to this day, none of his kids, none of his baby mamas, his mistresses — nobody has come up with HIV. Just rationally thinking, something had to go on.” What are your thoughts?
