Juice WRLD's Mother Harshly Condemns His Son's Enablers: "People Had Their Own Agendas"

The lucid dreams rapper died of an apparent drug overdose a little over two years ago, and now his mother is speaking out for her first sit-down interview ever since Juice's death.

For the first time since his tragic passing in December 2019, Juice Wrld's mother has participated in her first television interview. The rapper's friends and frequent collaborators have repeatedly come forward with stories of their times with Juice when he was still alive, but his mother has opted to keep her commentary focused on pushing forward his legacy and cementing it.

Carmella Wallace is championing efforts related to mental health awareness and drug addiction, often sharing information about Juice's struggles. Recently, she sat down with the Tamron Hall Show and spoke about her late son. Wallace previously opened up about Juice's song "Stuck in a Maze" and how that helped her gain insight into what he was dealing with, but elsewhere, she condemned the enablers in his life...in his circle.

“I just felt like his best interest wasn’t being looked out for,” Wallace said. “I think people had their own agendas and they liked the lifestyle. And they were young too, so they don’t see things the way we see them, but he just didn’t have the people in place to tell him to stop. He didn’t have that support system set in place.”

She also revealed that there were people who contacted her to share their concerns about Juice WRLD, but surprisingly not those closest to him. 

“I told him of my fears of him overdosing and encouraged him to speak to the psychologist I arranged for him to speak with,” she said. “But he was nineteen and he knew everything, and the people around him, some of them would reach out to me, but not the inner, inner circle.”
