Nationwide — Rapper Young Bleed, who rose to fame under Master P’s No Limit Records in the late 1990s, has died at 51 years old after suffering a brain aneurysm in Las Vegas. His death came just days after performing at the No Limit vs. Cash Money Verzuz battle, which reunited two of Louisiana’s most influential hip-hop crews.
Young Bleed, whose real name was Glenn Reid Clifton Jr., died on November 1, 2025. His eldest son, Ty Gee Ramon Clifton, confirmed the news through an emotional video on social media, where he also addressed rumors and clarified details surrounding his father’s passing.
According to Vibe, Ty Gee said his father collapsed after attending the Verzuz afterparty. He said Young Bleed had mild high blood pressure but no serious health issues. “After his huge celebration at the Verzuz, he went to an afterparty and that’s where everything kind of spiked,” Ty Gee said. “Once he collapsed, he did pass from the aneurysm, the bleed to the brain.”
Ty Gee also corrected reports about his father’s age, confirming he was born on June 6, 1974. “My dad was 51 years old when this happened to him,” he said. “My dad was never in and out of the hospital and that’s the unfortunate thing about sickness. Especially men, we don’t go to the hospital much.”
He thanked fans, friends, and the doctors in Las Vegas who tried to save his father’s life. Ty Gee also confirmed that the family’s GoFundMe page, created under Young Bleed’s mother’s name, will now cover funeral costs. “Thank you to all y’all,” he said. “We’re going to change the GoFundMe from medical expenses to medical and burial.” It has so far raised over $7,000.
Young Bleed first gained national attention with his 1998 debut album All I Have In The World, Is… My Balls & My Word, which went platinum. The album featured the hit single “How Ya Do Dat,” one of No Limit’s biggest anthems.
Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Young Bleed became known for his poetic style and vivid storytelling, painting portraits of Southern life through raw, soulful lyrics. In recent years, he continued performing and connecting with fans who admired his authenticity and wisdom.
His son vowed to keep his father’s memory alive. “I’m gonna pick up the ball and continue from where he left off,” Ty Gee said. “I’m gonna make sure his legacy stays alive and that’s through all of us.”
