Young Dolph jumped on Twitter this morning and called out these who honor rappers like Mac Miller, XXXTentacion, Lil Peep and Fredo Santana after their death, but didn't show them that love when they were alive.
If u a successful person everybody waitin for u to die so they can tell u how much they luv u and respect u..... i wonder why the industry didn’t show xxx, lil peep, Mac miller, fredo all that luv until they where pronounced dead... TOO FAKE. smoking a 7am blunt and jus thinkin

Master P expressed a similar sentiment after XXX died:
"Why you all didn't tell this to the man when he was alive. That's what I mean about phony," P said about the sudden canonization of X." If you going to wait for the man to die, you might as well say nothing."
Is the rap game guilty of waiting until artists die to give them love, or is that only natural?
