The distraught mother told the outlet she learned about her son’s death via social media, calling it a “terrible thing” to put that out.

“All I’m doing is requesting that people pray for us.”

Samuels’ mother declined to provide details about his death; however, according to an incident report by the Atlanta Police Department, first responders responded to a 911 call at Samuels’ apartment after he experienced chest pain.
A final video of Samuels showed him ranting about so-called basic women – hours before his death.
Samuels uploaded the tirade titled “Modern Women are a Party of 1″ to his YouTube and Instagram channels on May 4.
The influencer, who has previously been accused of misogyny, said: “Ladies, why is it that I say that modern women are a party of one?”
Samuels ranted: “Men don’t care about what you have. We care about who you are. Your masters, your Ph.D., your property or your car, whatever, is NOT what men choose.
“Women judged from the highest man they were ever able to ‘deal’ with. She thought that automatically adjusted her level.”
In the video, he said he’s starting to see “hellified basic chicks.”
Samuels previously sparked outrage on social media after claiming unmarried women over 35 years old are considered to be “leftover women”.
His videos also feature claims that allege modern women are average at a best.
