Many people criticized the 29-year-old for the insensitive tweet. Santana’s death was due to a fatal seizure and it was known that he was a lean user.

Tran responded by insisting that she wasn’t trying to be insensitive. On Saturday, Jan. 20, she wrote on Twitter:

Someone on Twitter asked Tran why was she apologizing, and she made it known that she stood by her statement, but the timing of her comment was inappropriate.

Santana, who died at 27, opened up about his lean usage and admitted trying to get help for his addiction. Before his death, he was hospitalized for liver and kidney failure. That along with seizures are the effects of the usage of lean which is promethazine that is sometimes mixed with a flavored drink.

Tran isn’t the only one giving her commentary on lean and the Chicago rapper’s death. Santana’s father, whose nickname is Big Shug, shared his sorrow about losing his son on Instagram––.
