“Went thru it yesterday, realizing that 2 icons of my childhood passed this week,” he wrote in a post on his Instagram Stories, via TMZ Sports. “Reached out to both my parents & my siblings cuz life is short and it’s important to spend time with the people you love.

“Caught a SERIOUS case of ‘fck it’s’ & almost had a drink… It was disheartening realizing how the ‘fun’ has been stripped from social media. It used to be ‘OK’ to be weird and have opinions on social media, to learn from mistakes publicly. Now it’s been so normalized to ‘fit’ a certain mold or into society.

“And people wonder why MFs keep their thoughts to themselves these days… It shouldn’t have to be that way. And luckily for me, I have plenty of friends and family who raised me right & love me But my heart breaks for people that aren’t fortunate.”

Jordan has been in the negative spotlight since the start of the year when he was arrested on drug possession and DUI charges.
