Rapper Jew’elz – real name Erwin McKiness, a 20 year-old Southern California rapper, tweeted the popular and misguided phrase “#YOLO” (you only live once) just minutes before dying in a dramatic 120mph car crash in Ontario, California.
His sister has apparently taken to the Twitter account to disprove that her brother was indeed the one behind the wheel. His friend Jonathan Watson was apparently the one behind the wheel at the time. According to the LA Times, Erwinn’s Twitter activity is being looked into by the cops.
