Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta Star Son Dies In Tragic Accident

You guys may remember Rod “Shooter” Gates from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. He was involved in a love triangle with his wife Sierra and her employee Moriah. 

But sadly the actor/producer has suffered a major loss. His eldest son Rod Jr. has tragically died. 

Rod Jr. was called home after being involved in a car accident. This is what Shooter posted online last night:

‘SO LOST FOR WORDS THE ONLY THING THATS KEEPING ME SANE IS I KNOW THE GOOD LORD DONT MAKE NO MISTAKES.’

‘MY SON CALLED ME YESTERDAY AND SAID A DAD I SEEN YOU AND MY BROTHERS AT MAIN EVENT I SAID YEA COME ON OUT HERE WITH US. HE SAID NO TODAY DAD WE HAVING A PARTY AT MY SPOT. I SAID OK SON BE SAFE HIT ME LATER HE SAID OK.’

‘I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO SAY I LOVE YOU AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS TELL YOUR LOVE ONES YOU LOVED THEM EVERYDAY CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE GOOD LORD IS GOING TO CALLED THEM HOME.’

‘I BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN MY LIFE BUT I THINK THIS IS THE HARDEST SHIT EVER. A PARENT IS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BURY HIS CHILD A CHILD SUPPOSED TO BURY HIS PARENTS.’
