The saga of this deceased hip hop artist is a somber case of watching someones life and psyche unravel in real time through social media. The fledgling rapper and comedian was a popular YouTube personality whose videos regularly garnered over 100,000 views, with a particularly large following in the Seattle area. In January of 2013, Freddy abruptly went from posting a barrage of updates touting an amazing night of partying and performing one that he called the greatest night of his life - to laments of sorrow and apologies to his loved ones. The tragedy took a turn toward ugly when Freddys Twitter followers started blaming fellow rapper Honey Cocaine for his suicide, as she was purportedly the source of his heartbreak. The updates grew gradually darker until the final tweet, just before he ended his life: "I'm sorry."
