KayO Redd Suicide Confirmed: Waka Flocka's brother shot himself in the head, Waka lost another brother in hit-and-run tragedy in 2000

KayO Redd death has reportedly been confirmed as a suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head on Dec. 29, according to TMZ.Rapper Waka Flocka and his mother Debra Antney are having a hard time dealing with KayO's death after the family suffered through another tragedy in 2000, when Waka's other brother was killed.

In an interview with VIBE Magazine, Debra talked about how Waka was devastated and blamed himself for the hit-and-run death.

"My son was killed in 2000 and Waka was like 13 years old, going on 14. And it was hard. Since my son died, that's when [Waka] flipped. He hated everything dealing with school because my son, his death was a sneak out the house to go help a kid with his homework before his father came home so the kid wouldn't get a beating. Waka told him to go, he'll cover for him. So [when he was biking home and killed by a car] Waka blamed hisself. He feels very responsible for my son's death-that's what flipped him out, she said.

"It wasn't until recently [that I realized.] One night he just bust into my room and he was crying so hard and I jumped out the bed and I automatically started crying. I thought it was Gucci, 'cause at that time Gucci was running so wild. I immediately started crying, like "Oh my God, what the hell happened?"-that time of the night somebody coming in the room. He just dropped to his knees and [was] like, "Ma, please forgive me." I'm like, "What do you mean forgive you? What did you do?" I'm crying and I'm like "Where is Gucci?" Just yelling 'cause I used to make him go to watch Gooch, like, "Make sure Gucci's okay," 'cause Gucci was going so wild. I'm still thinking something happened to Gucci and he's not telling me 'cause, like, where is he? Them two, you never seen one without [the other]-they were so inseparable it was pathetic. And then that's when he told me: "I'm the one that told him he could go. I covered for him." So all this time this kid walked around holding this stuff inside of him."

RIP
