He was on the computer at 1 a.m. and then I got the phone call at 4 in the morning from the artist he stays with, Bank Boy Drop. He’s an artist based out of Florida we was actually workin’ on.” When asked about potential health complications Kap may have had prior to the heart attack, Ab said, “Not that I know of. He had diabetes but I don’t think it had anything to do with [his death].” (Billboard)
