Additionally, Moss had tweeted a series of alarming tweets on April 1st, referring to himself as the ‘black spiderman’ also according to XXL Magazine.
Additionally, according to Rap-Up, Moss had previously tweeted about suicide back in 2010. “I swear I be wishing I was dead sometimes. Because I feel like that’s the only way I’ll get peace,” the then 23-year-old tweeted. The tweets were later deleted, but you can still read them here.
