Benny Blanco Pays Tribute to Juice WRLD After His Death, Says His ‘Talent Was Unmatched by Anyone’

Benny Blanco, who notably collaborated with Juice WRLD on singles like “Roses” and “Graduation,” has shared his memories of the late rapper while mourning his death.

Juice WRLD, a.k.a. Jarad Anthony Higgins, died Sunday morning (Dec. 8) at age 21. He was reportedly rushed to the hospital after suffering a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport.

“it was always jokes… i literally can’t even find a picture where u aren’t laughing or in the middle of telling a funny ass story… u were one of the sweetest / purest people i have ever met… ur talent was unmatched by anyone,” Blanco wrote on social media Sunday afternoon.

He continued: “u literally would just listen to a beat for 2 seconds then go in the booth and record 5 takes and say pick the best song… and then do that over like 10 beats… i would literally run out of beats… u were not a human… u were something else… something special.”

“i’m thankful for the time we spent together… ur friends and family are in my prayers… luv u bro,” Blanco said.
