Aspiring rapper tweets 'YOLO' before dying in a car crash
 
Quote:


YOLO (You Only Live Once) has become the rallying cry for teens, tweens, and people who are about to do something really stupid. Ervin McKinness, an aspiring rapper, used the hashtag #YOLO on several tweets before he died in a car crash.

Vibe Magazine reports that McKinness and four other men in their early 20s were killed in a drunk driving accident at about 1:40 am on Labor Day in Ontario, Canada.

Twenty minutes before the accident McKinness, who rapped under the names Jew’elz and Inkky, wrote on Twitter:

Quote:

“Drunk af (as *****) going 120 drifting corners #F–kIt YOLO / Driving tweeting sipping the cup f–k yolo I’m turning it up.”
Marquell Bogan, 23, Dylan George, 20, Jonathan Watson, 21 and JaJuan Bennett, 23, were all killed in the crash.

Vibe reports that McKinness wasn’t driving at the time during the crash. Judging by the young rappers tweets, however, it seems like he was drinking in the car at the time of the accident.

“YOLO” was popularized by the Drake song “The Motto.” Drake sings:

“You only live once, that’s the motto, ni–a Yolo / We bout it every day, every day, every day / Like we sitting on the bench, ni–a we don’t really play.”

The term has, according to Urban Dictionary, has become ”carpe diem” for stupid people. It’s used as an excuse to do something dangerous like driving drunk.

According to Vibe, McKinness and his friends decided to go partying over Labor Day weekend because Inkky had just signed a record deal. They decided to get in their car and drive around drunk because, well, you know, you only live once.

its a shame but hopefully it will act as one of those 'inspire young people' things to help stop drink driving.

You only live once, so why **** it up?

BBfanUSA 09-09-2012 09:10 PM

and this is why I HATE YOLO and Swag people. They're all stupid. This will only make those kind of people worship what he did.

Joelle. 09-09-2012 09:40 PM

Unfortunate, but people who use that hashtag clearly have it coming to them...

Roy Mars III 09-09-2012 09:41 PM

Fortunately he didn't wipe out some other poor sod. Feel sorry for his family though.

Shaun 09-09-2012 10:24 PM

Well technically he wiped out 4 if you count the people in his car :/ though why you'd get in a car with someone drinking, speeding & tweeting whilst driving idk

Tom4784 09-09-2012 10:47 PM

I'm not sad for them one bit, they sound like morons and I'm glad that they can't infect humanity's gene pool by passing theirs on to the next generation.

I sympathise with their families though.

MTVN 10-09-2012 02:15 AM

He wasn't actually driving then :suspect:

Kizzy 10-09-2012 05:59 AM
