Diddy’s Bad Boy Artist Craig Mack Allegedly Died Of HIV/AIDS

A new article from Rolling Stones suggests Craig Mack, the 1990s artist who was signed to the disgraced Bad Boy founder Diddy, may have died of HIV/AIDS.

The legendary hip hop artist, 47, died on March 12, 2018, due to heart failure at a hospital near his home at Walterboro, South Carolina.

Craig Mack was ill for some time prior to his death and was prepared for a grim outcome, according to his family and friends. He was reportedly suffering from heart failure, having developed shortness of breath from around six months before his death when, according to rapper Erick Sermon, he called his friends to bid farewell.

However, Rolling Stone just dropped a bombshell. In a new report they insinuated that he may have died of HIV/AIDS. “While Mack’s family honored his wishes and repeated his assertion that he had congestive heart failure, Mack’s cause of death was HIV/AIDS, according to his death certificate, and he had refused to seek treatment,” the article reads.

While men contract the disease thorough heterosexual contact, the most common way for men to acquire HIV/AIDS is through homos**ual contact, or intravenous drug use.

It’s also gathered that at least 5 prominent Black male celebrities, who passed from HIV/AIDS. In each of those cases, their family reported the celebrity’s cause of death to the media as a “stoke” “natural causes” or “heart failure,” when the true cause of death was an untreated HIV/AIDS.

“There were no extravagant funeral plans — Mack wished for no fuss and to be buried on [a South Carolina] compound,” the outlet added about Craig’s funeral. “The day after his death, church members lowered his plain gray coffin into a grave they dug …. “Brother J. Craig Mack” his headstone reads to this day.“

The rapper’s life seemed to spiral out of control, after he met and had a later fallout with disgraced hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy has been accused of engaging in s**ually abusive relationships with men and women. He has since denied all accusations against him.
