Juice Wrld‘s mom, Carmella Wallace, has released a statement on the tragic death of her son at the age of 21.

“We loved Jarad [Jarad Anthony Higgins, Juice Wrld's name] with all of our hearts and cannot believe our time with him has been cut short. As he often addressed in his music and to his fans, Jarad battled with prescription drug dependency,” Carmella told TMZ. “Addiction knows no boundaries and its impact goes way beyond the person fighting it. Jarad was a son, brother, grandson, friend and so much more to so many people who wanted more than anything to see him defeat addiction.”

She continued, “We hope the conversations he started in his music and his legacy will help others win their battles as that is what he wanted more than anything. We know that Jarad‘s legacy of love, joy and emotional honesty will live on.”

Tragic details about Juice Wrld‘s death emerged after it was revealed he may have overdosed on pills after he swallowed them to hide them from the police.
