The Tragic Fate Of ODB

Ol’ Dirty Bastard had Wu-Tang, a Roc-A-Fella deal, Mariah Carey, and a family that loved him. He still died at 35 inside RZA’s studio, two days before his birthday, from a mix of cocaine and tramadol. In his final weeks he kept telling people he was dying, and they thought he was just high. From the Grammys stage rant and the welfare-office limo to prison, a fugitive run, and the Dame Dash deal that blindsided RZA, this is the story of how everyone saw it coming and nobody could stop it. Could anyone have saved Dirty?
