Late N.W.A. leader Eazy-E‘s son, Lil Eazy-E, has reacted to this week’s shocking news of Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen announcing he is HIV positive.
In Lil Eazy’s perspective, Sheen has science on his side in 2015.
The late co-founder of N.W.A. died from AIDS in 1995 when Lil Eazy-E was only 10. Lil Eazy told us, he thinks Charlie is lucky because he will have a full life expectancy due to medical advancements. He points out there were no lifesaving treatments for HIV when his dad passed away. Lil added, there are a lot of similarities between Sheen and his father — mainly the fame, wealth and women that came with it. (TMZ)
HIV positive retired NBA champion Magic Johnson reacted to Sheen’s announcement on Twitter yesterday (November 17).
Sheen broke the headline-generating news on Tuesday’s “Today” morning show.
“It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life,” the 50-year-old actor said. Sheen said he made the announcement to end a smear campaign and extortion efforts. “I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me, that threaten the health of so many others that couldn’t be further from the truth,” he said.

Sheen’s physician Dr. Robert Huizenga addressed his condition on the live broadcast.
“We’re petrified about Charlie. We’re so, so anxious that if he was overly depressed, if he was abusing substance, he would forget these pills and that’s been an incredible worry,” he said. However, he said Sheen has been vigilant about his regiment. (“Today”)
