“It’s very difficult for me to do this video because I never thought I would have to do something like this,” he said.

“We ask of you right now, in this special moment, that you respect our privacy and that we accept all the love and condolences on his behalf.”

Denzil added that he and his family are trying to do their best to deal with the tragic situation.

“My brother was very excited to see so many of you create challenges for his recently released single #Twerkoholic Part 2 during his stay in ICU, it really put a big smile on his face,” the post caption reads .

B. Smyth rose to fame on YouTube and is best known for his songs Might Cuff You, Ride Good, Creep, Leggo and more.

During his career he has worked with artists such as 2 Chainz and Future.
