Singer B. Smyth has passed away at the age of 28.
His brother Denzil Smith appeared in a video post on the singer’s Instagram early Thursday where he confirmed the tragic news of his death. “Today regretfully I have to announce that my brother has passed away this morning from respiratory failure after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis,” Smith wrote.
“My brother was very excited to see a lot of you create challenges for his latest released single #Twerkoholic part 2 while he was in the ICU, it really brought him a big smile to his face.”
Denzil shared a lengthy message on his own Instagram, claiming he can still feel his presence while also acknowledging that he’s at peace knowing B. Smyth is no longer suffering.
Smyth rocketed to stardom with the release of “Twerkaholic” in 2014. He dropped a follow-up to the hit song last month. The singer has collaborated with LightSkinKeisha for “Ride Good,” and 2 Chainz on “Leggo.” He also enlisted the help of Young Thug and Rick Ross on “Creep” and “Might Cuff U,” respectively.
