Just hours before his death, Noriega had shared a video of him in bed captioned: ‘who else b thinking they gon d!€ young af or dis j me’.Â
Noriega had recently set up a Discord channel to help those struggling with their mental health, explaining: ‘I’ve been struggling with addiction since I was 9 years old, you may think that’s crazy, but that’s the life I’ve been dealt.
‘I would like to use the influence I’ve been given to create a space built on spreading awareness and normalising talking about mental illness.
‘My goal is to eventually open a rehab where people aren’t traumatised at the end of their recovery and where the staff members are trusted people.’
He added: ‘One of the many things I’ve learnt while struggling with addiction was that surrounding yourself with negative people will only bring you down.
‘For that reason, this discord is meant to bring us all together and create a safe space where people can vent and help others through their tough times.’
