R&B singer B. Smyth, a popular presence on YouTube whose “Twerkoholic” was a big hit, died Thursday at age 28, his brother said.
Smyth, whose real name was Brandon Smith, died of respiratory failure following “a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis,” his sibling Denzil wrote on the late singer’s Instagram account.
His death occurred exactly three weeks after he released the song “Twerkoholic, Pt. 2″ with the artists Roj & Twinkie.
