At this point I think it's a common understanding that if you use the acronym "YOLO" at any point now you deserve to take a brick to the face. That didn't stop Southern Californian rapper Ervin McKiness, otherwise known as "Jew'elz" or "Inkyy," from sending out this tweet though:

This happened 20 minutes before the car carrying five men including McKiness crashed at 1:40 a.m. on September 2. McKiness wasn't driving as the car was being driven by 21-year-old Jonathan Watson.

I feel as though people aren't applying the phrase "YOLO" the way it was meant to be. Just because everybody has suddenly become aware that they in fact only have one life doesn't mean they should do whatever the hell they want to. That kind of logic leads to a line of thinking such as "I want to buy a new TV, might as well rob a bank. After all, according to Drake I only live once so I should risk my life at every given moment." The only time I've ever seen "YOLO" used is immediately after a bad decision.

TL;DR A Southern Californian rapper tweets YOLO while driving drunk and immediately dies in a car crash.
