The thing that does not get talked about enough in the "go get checked" convo is the lack of access to care. By and large Black people have less access to medical care, Black people are more likely to be medically uninsured or underinsured. There are less health care providers in Black neighborhoods

Black people have always gone hard for D’Angelo’s music and legacy because his music was the soundtrack to our culture. It wasn’t one household where you didn’t see a D’Angelo record displayed near the studio of a black household. He will forever be in our souls for what he gave to us. 🕊️

there is no way we can talk about legends, no way we can talk about musical genius without talking about D’Angelo. the soundscape he created built bridges between the secular & spiritual worlds. I’m devastated, man. what a seismic loss for funk/soul music lovers everywhere. 💔

To think that we have to deal with death for the rest of our lives isn’t sitting well with me right now.

This is insane, man 😭

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

Yeah … his manger confirmed it

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

It’s definitely what I learned from being in the editorial world for a 10+ years to always use the most reliable source to report the news. I’m too well connected in this industry to just be putting information out here or to just simply go for what social media saying.

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

Maybe it is true … OMG, WTF!?

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

They’re all coming in. I don’t know, man… This is hard to believe if it is true.

I’m only relying based off of his representatives at this point.

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

Exactly. all of these new sources are reporting that but his representatives have not come forward to confirm whether if it’s true or not

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

And according to what people said, Questlove recently deleted a post and we all know that he’s close to D’Angelo more than any other person.

Someone from D’Angelo’s camp needs to come forward to confirm this—Baller Alert was the first to report this does not make any sense because they’re never the first to report things of this matter.

If this is confirmed not true, I want their asses to be in hot water because this is massive.

PettyLabelle 😜 @sirvonchilds.bsky.social · 8h

Yeah, I saw that too. And now I’m seeing other medias reported, but the main media is still not confirming it and I just checked my archive system and currently a lot of that information is leaning towards as far right.
