Who was Freeway’s son, Jihad Pridgen? More about SnowHadd and his untimely death
Jihad Pridgen was an aspiring rapper, recognized as Freeway’s elder son. He followed his father’s footsteps and decided to establish a career in music, and reportedly took part in several freestyle competitions across the U.S.
He was best known by the stage name 'SnowHadd.' Unfortunately, the 20-year-old passed away last October. News of his death was confirmed by the rapper on Instagram. The What We Do singer shared a picture with his son from the latter’s graduation ceremony to break the tragic news at the time.
During an appearance on the (Re)Cession podcast, Freeway opened up about his son’s death while speaking to Jeezy. The singer mentioned that his faith and understanding in God helped him cope with the difficult situation:
“It’s like what I told you about Islam and about God. Without that, I don’t know where I would be at right now. But my faith in God and my understanding in God really got me through.”
The Flipside hitmaker also revealed that his son was an organ donor and that his decision helped save other lives. The singer also recalled how his own was once saved with a kidney transplant:
“He was an organ donor... two people got his kidneys. One person got his lungs and one person got his liver. It’s a blessing. Just for it to come full circle because someone’s son saved my life. Someone’s son was in the same position and they were generous enough to be an organ donor and that’s how I received my kidney.”
No cause of Jihad’s death has been revealed so far. Several fans have speculated that he suffered from a fatal accident, while others have claimed that he was shot. However, none of the rumors were addressed and the cause of his demise remains unknown to this day.
Several fans, colleagues and well-wishers have taken to social media to offer their condolences to Freeway after he tragically lost both his children within a span of one year.
Fans around the world are praying for Freeway. It's great to see the entire world coming around for a man who has suffered a lot. With the support of such ardent well-wishers, hopefully the rapper will find some solace.
