He had a good family support system. Only thing I can conclude is the industry is diabolical....and drugs might have had a part.

Right as his star was rising, his mother died and he was raised by a cousin who insisted he finish high school. His is a tragic story. Youth, fame, and money can really eff a person's head up.

Silento is a product of his environment. And like most, he almost escaped it with his talent. But almost doesn't count.
