The rapper passed away at the age of 34 after a long period of excess, family feuds and mental health issues
my heart in pieces Although my brother and I had a complicated relationship, my love for him never waned. I had always held onto the hope that one day he would somehow find a healthier path and maybe find the help he so desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is, addiction and mental illness are the real culprits here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. i love you chizz Now you can finally find the peace you have never found here on earth. I love you brother. Following the disappearance of rapper Aaron Carter, who was found dead in the bathtub at his California home at the age of 34, older brother Nick, a member of the Backstreet Boys, broke the silence with a post on social media.
His words are filled with pain, all the more so given the severely tormented dynamic between the two brothers, united by a passion for music but separated by irreconcilable differences that had also led to a restraining order against Aaron. After a very early debut at the age of 7, initially under the care of his older brother (he had opened the Backstreet Boys concerts), the 13-year-old rapper already had three successful records and a long string of goals, perhaps cut too far . soon. And as is often the case for those who have been in the spotlight from a young age, the former baby star’s adult life has been one of controversy, substance abuse and mental health struggles, and a career that has had more lows than highs (he filed for bankruptcy in 2013).
In 2019, the adored by many teenagers former blonde Helm, whose face was then covered in tattoos, revealed that she suffered from bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety attacks. Diseases discovered with a televised medical show, The Doctors, during which he also showed a large bag of medicines prescribed by doctors: This is my reality and I have nothing to hide, he said. In addition to the psychological problems, however, there were addictions, constant hospital stays in rehabilitation and a weakened state of health, which had also led to him being severely underweight at times.
A serious situation that had inexorably spread to tenderness, between difficult love relationships and above all family conflicts that culminated in a war between brothers: in 2019, Nick had applied for a restraining order against his younger brother due to increasing concern and behavior Aaron and his recent Admission that he was thinking of killing my pregnant wife and our unborn child. On that occasion, Nick had also wished that his brother would receive the care he needed before harming himself or others.
Aaron had denied: “I haven’t seen him in four years and have no intention of seeing him again,” he wrote on Twitter, before dropping an even heavier bombshell by speaking out on social about alleged sexual abuse he suffered as a child had his sister Leslie, who died of an overdose in 2012. And he also accused his brother Nick of sexual abuse (vehemently denied) and hinted that he would also molest a female family member: My sister raped me between the years of 10 and 13 when she wasn’t taking her medication and not only me was sexually abused by her, but by my first two dancers when I was 8 – she had written publicly -. And my brother has abused me all my life.
Things hadn’t seemed to get any better lately: little was left of his career except for an OnlyFans account and missing out on the show Naked Boys Singing! in Las Vegas, from which he was ousted before takeoff because he appeared to be , he refused to be vaccinated against Covid. Less than a month ago he wrote on Twitter: I am focused on being the best father and friend I can be. In fact, she leaves behind a child less than a year old, born on November 22, 2021: he had lost custody together with his partner due to addictions and for this reason in September for the fifth and last time he was admitted to rehab.
