I’m Not Dead – Rapper J.I shut down rumors

New York rapper J.I is alive, not dead.

J.I went on Instagram to refute claims about his death. According to the fake report, he was “found dead of an overdose reporters say he was found dead in the bathroom of his New York apartment”.

The rapper said the news is fake and he is “more alive than ever”. He added “More music OTW”.
