G Herbo recently became emotional in a new interview after placing the blame on himself for a friend’s passing.
Earlier this week, the Chicago rapper who has much to celebrate after avoiding jail time in his fraud case was a guest on What The World Doesn’t Know About My Child hosted by Big Greg, the father of G Herbo’s late friend Gregory “Lil Greg” Jackson III.
According to Complex, things got intense during the chat as Herbo revealed that he blames himself for Lil Greg’s passing. Back in 2021, Greg was murdered at a barbershop when someone walked in and shot him in the face.
“I felt empty. I feel like I caused it, 100%, from the bottom of my heart,” said Herbo. “I felt like, what the f*** you wanna do something to my little brother for? You wanted to do something to me. The reason why I feel like that is ’cause I always dictated his life a little bit…” the rapper added.
“I told him to stop going to that f*****g barbershop. I’m telling him this countless times… But he’s such a good person he ain’t thinking that [somebody would hurt him].”
Elsewhere in the interview, G Herbo became emotional and had visible tears in his eyes.
“If I get a Grammy, an Oscar, I’ma still think about my little brother. My life can’t be complete without him. It don’t feel complete. It’s never gonna feel complete without him,” he said. “That’s the truth! I ain’t never gonna be able to feel complete without him,” Herbo said. “That sh*t just don’t make sense to me. It don’t add up. And I’ve been through a lot of sh*t, way too much. It still ain’t making sense to me why he not here.”
Previously, Herb touched on losing several friends in an interview with Bootleg Kev and admitted that the trauma of losing his loved ones led him to use prescription drugs.
Thankfully, he kicked his drug habit and got a therapist who helped him cope with his emotions.
