According to XO Necole, Johnson said,

“He was a well-known Houston area rapper. He was charming and well-connected and from the moment we met, we were inseparable.”

He even was able to get her a job as a promotions assistant where she became very successful in other positions. She said, “Our life was filled with power, sex, drugs, and strip clubs.” Her life was filled with designer clothes, the hottest parties and so many other things she can’t imagine. The two broke up when she found out that he was cheating her on and even got another woman pregnant. Months later after leaving the relationship she was in the shower and passed out.

After going in and out of hospital, one day the physician walked in the room and said,

“So, about your AIDS virus.”
