It’s been a tough couple of weeks for Gillie Da Kid who recently lost his son due to gun violence. Although he’s still grieving, he’s been trying his best to stay positive and stay strong through it all. Thanks to his good friends in his inner circle, they’re also making sure to give him all the love and support he needs during this difficult time.
Recently, a bunch of artists and friends came together for his Gillie Fest in collaboration with Million Dollaz Worth Of Game co-host Wallo267. Before hitting the stage to perform, artist Freeway took a moment to not only console Gillie but also to say this: “You know I lost my son in 2020,” Freeway aid onstage with Gillie in his arm. “I lost my daughter in 2021 to cancer. My brother Gil lost his son. So when we say that we can rock this s**t for our kids, it got a deeper meaning. Because we still have things that we can do for our kids, like make doo-wop for them. Like, give charity in they names, things that’s gon’ aid them in the next life. And that’s the mission that we on. So, if I can rock, this s**t for my kids, Philly, let’s go.” The 39-year-old later thanked him on social media for his care, “Don’t know what I would have did without this Brother @phillyfreeway.”
A video clip reposted by Gillie also shows Meek Mill performing but then quickly noticing Gillie going into a daze. The rapper is seen pulling him out of it and then later dapping him up to assure that’s okay. Gillie captioned the clip saying, “@MeekMill was performing my $hi, I was in the middle of thinking bout my son,” he expressed on IG. “And he slap the $hi out me lokey scared the $hi out me [multiple crying-laughing emojis]. I played it off tho #LLCheeze #GillieFest.”
