Last week, Breedlove posted two videos to YouTube detailing his incredible struggle with the illness, including several brushes with death.
In his clips he shows describes a dream that he had about his favorite rapper-Kid Cudi.
“I was looking at myself in this mirror… I couldn’t stop smiling… I was proud of MYSELF, of my entire life, everything I have done. It was the BEST feeling,” explained the teen.
Breedlove died of a heart attack on Christmas day.
Kid Cudi heard about his fan’s death and condition; which inspired him to post a special note on his own blog.
“I am so sad about Ben Breedlove. I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart. I broke down, I am to tears because I hate how life is so unfair,” writes the rapper.
He continues, “This has really touched my heart in a way I can’t describe, this is why I do what I do. Why I write my life, and why I love you all so much. Life is really f*cked up sometimes, but I know Ben is at Peace, and I hope he gets a chance to sit and talk with my Dad. We love you Ben. Forever. Thank you for loving me.”
Cudi concludes, “To Ben’s family, you raised a real hero, he’s definitely mine. You have my love.”
