Juice WRLD's mother on fans leaking songs: "It’s a bit disrespectful to him"

In a recent interview with XXL, Carmela Wallage, the mother of the late Juice WRLD real name Jarad Higgins, has discussed the Live Free 999 foundation launnched in honour of her late son, her innvolvement with the posthumous albums, and fans leaking his music.

When asked about her thoughts on Juice WRLD's music that gets leaked, Wallace responded, "I understand they loved him. They loved his music, but there’s a proper way to do it."

She continued, "Let us give you our best. Leaked music is not necessarily cleaned up music, it’s just leaked, it’s not finished. So, it’s just a lot of work just going into it. It’s a bit disrespectful to him, honestly, to leak his music like that. But I know that monster is there, been there and it’s not going anywhere. We can just do our part and put out good music. He made a lot of music."

Discussing her involvement with the posthumous records, she said, "My involvement is to let the experts do what the experts do. Bibby really produces and puts all the stuff together like he did when Jarad was here. I think he does an awesome job, so I would never mess with that. My involvement is they might play the songs for me before the music is released like the last album. I remember just sitting on my deck just listening to every song..."

She added, "My involvement is I give the thumbs up, but Bibby does what Bibby does. He picks the songs and puts everything together. He does such an awesome job, so I would never want to change that dynamic and he loved him. He would put stuff out that really represents him [Jarad] well. And he puts the love and labor into producing something really good, so I would never take that away."
