Kid Cudi has remembered the first time he met Juice WRLD in a heartfelt Twitter post about the late rapper.
Juice WRLD died in December 2019 after experiencing cardiac arrest-like symptoms on arrival at Chicago’s Midway Airport. A coroner later ruled he died from an accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine.
Posting on Twitter yesterday (March 27), Cudi shared a tweet Juice WRLD, real name Jarad Higgins, had posted in 2018. “@KidCudi I need to work with you legend,” his tweet read.

“In loving memory of Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins,” they begin. “You will be remembered forever. You will be loved forever. You will be here forever. Thank you for changing the wrld. 999 forever.”
