Lil Eazy-E was 10 years old in 1995, when his father, Eazy-E, passed away from complications due to AIDS.

In light of Charlie Sheen’s announcement that he has HIV, the son of the N.W.A rapper has responded to the actor via TMZ.

The site says Lil Eazy-E calls the actor “lucky” because of scientific advances in medical technology that will allow him to lead a long life with the virus and that he will get to see his children grow up.

Lil Eazy-E continues by saying the actor can help bring awareness to HIV/AIDS.
