Heartbreaking! Kid Cudi Writes Letter To Fan Who Died (DETAILS)

Posted December 28, 2011 by Rebecca Francois for Global Grind Staff

Monday morning Kid Cudi took to his personal blog and posted a letter to 18-year-old Ben Breedlove, who recently lost his battle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – a thickening of heart muscles which can lead to sudden cardiac death.

Before his passing, and in a touching display of courage, Breedlove released a YouTube video titled ‘This is My Story’ detailing all three of his near death experiences while living with his disease, one of which includes a vision of his favorite rapper, Kid Cudi.

Breedlove said:

“While I was still unconscious, I was in this white room. No walls. It just went on and on. There was no sound [but peace].  It I was wearing a really nice suit. And so was my favorite rapper, Kid Cudi. Why he was the only one there with me, I’m still trying to figure out. But I was looking at this mirror that was in front of me. The first thing I thought was damn we look good… I couldn’t stop smiling."

After seeing the two-part video for himself, Cudi released a moving message to this young fan and family:

“I broke down, Iam to tears because I hate how life is so unfair. This has really touched my heart in a way I cant describe, this is why I do what I do. Why I write my life, and why I love you all so much… We love you Ben. Forever. Thank you for loving me." 

Ben Breedlove passed away on Christmas Day.
