I grew up with both of them (on TV not reality of course) and I always wondered if that incident scarred Brandon badly, because he seemed to be on the up and then nothing after Santana was killed. A fkd up day for late 90s 2000s kids and fam/friends. I remember.

If you google him now you will see pictures that look nothing like him. You will see a guy throwing up gun signs so I'm hopeful thats no subliminal sign to us😢

💖💖💖🌹

So if he wasn't attractive it wouldn't be as tragic?

His story was told very well! Extremely impressive.. I remember growing up with him and just noticing how fine he was.. it was so clear he wasn't going to be on this earth long.. his spirit was too pure for this worldly evil .. May he continue to rest in peace

Wow

This part right here.💯🎯

Unfortunately very true,smh...

No matter where you go you can die 💯 they killing in Hollywood dude 🤦 you better off with family and friends

It’s the fact folks haven’t learned this yet so many still being killed for this very reason

ONLY in America, possibly the only country in the world that legalised child marriage, for you to call this 15 year old child a woman?!'🤔🤭🙄! What does this make you?! 🤔🤭🙄 A child ??? Ergo a Paedo***** me thinks?!🤭🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Yep! Just like the chicken that lied on Tupac Shakur!

Woman? She was a 15 year old girl. He really did commit statutory rape cause 15 year olds can't consent. He definitely played his part in his own demise because he shouldn't have been with that young girl. I don't believe men when they say they don't know that these young girls aren't of legal age. And there are more men that actually sxlly assault wmen and children than any girl/boy/wman lying but that's a whole other issue.🥴

She won't even no woman

With all the shady shit going on in Hollyweird, I say the rabbit hole runs deep!!! If I remember correctly everyone watched the Steve Harvey show to see Merlin!! He was the ⭐! Steve Harvey, Ceddy, and Wendy Raquel Welch were the co-stars. 🤨 Wonder where Steve would be if Merlin were still with us?😏

Thank you much, I watched the video again to see what I missed and caught it. Appreciate it

So based on that rationale yall all saying her social skills is the same as a grown woman 🤷🏾‍♂️ and Merlin being a grown ahh man didn't figure that out just from casual conversation.... So yall excusing the fact he doesn't know the difference between a woman and a minor, my cousin is 16 and she look 21 but once she start talking you'll quickly figure out this a little girl who's probably mature for her age but still young in the mind

you dont know anything@@kingreg440

​​​​​​@@kingreg440stop it because thats not true for all hell now n days the younger kids have more sense than those older and she definitely should be charged and imprisoned for the lie that ultimately led to his murder along with the men who did it but on another note you dont know what the conversation was about or even if they had one while youre tryna paint the guy as a pedophile, the same way she lied about that she couldve simply gotten mad because he didnt notice her idk nor do you but it was found to be a lie ANNNDD who said she was underage , she was a grown ass woman who was mad dude didnt want to have a relationship with her

Yea, he was definitely impressive. I like how he can speak English and Spanish really well and could switch back n forth effortlessly and not even have an accent.

I didn't know he was dead until 2009 unusually the news tell us about that

@@roselynholloway7863 we were both kids, and he wasn’t famous yet, but yes. He was nice to me. he was a little younger than me, but I remember thinking he was cool and talented. We were in the class together only like a year.

@@dsillsevans ok

Probably ended up in an abusive relationship

Most young women like that has been touched or abused in someway and in her mind any man that does her wrong she will take revenge

Men need to stop having sex with people they don’t know and crying about the consequences. Sexual discipline would’ve saved him

It's true. Very little is done to hold those types of people accountable. The ones who lie and ruin lives.

Exactly and because of them women who are really raped are afraid to come forward

I agree. Playing with other people's lives for their own selfish reasons.

And females believe there is still inequality

Like slavery days. Racism isn't too far from changing lives.

Well, they were both handsome actors, and they both were fasely accused by a willing participant. It also lead to both of their deaths.😢RIP

Thanks so much for that

I know it was very well told

Yep I remember how they were trying to paint him in the light of some "child molester".

Thats a very cool interaction. I remember my cousin coming home very upset saying he lost his friend on the west coast. It was Merlin who he knew from back in the day having grown up on the same block. Id forgotten they were friend and wasn't expecting that news. It was very heavy and sucked because everyone wanted to so what he was doing.

What a beautiful encounter. Thanks for sharing the memory! 👍👍

Was he nice

I met Merlin at a club in Los Angeles CA several years before his passing, he was very cool and personable. He wasn't a thug or living a wild lifestyle. He was Cool

@@kingreg440 it's definitely possible. At 5 I had a higher IQ and behaved more like an adult than most adults in my immediate circle both family members and friends, and adults that I'd just met. Just because she was young doesn't mean that she could not have passed for an adult. Especially as time as gone on. The girls don't have a tween stage anymore. They go from Geranimals at Walmart to shopping online on Pretty Little Things just like the adults who wear the same size. They're wearing full sets of nails and bust down wigs at 13. So you have a hard time telling the difference between a child and an adult. As well as adults are acting more like teenagers than the teens!!! So yes, I can absolutely believe he didn't know her true age based on looks and behaviors. Why doesn't that seem possible to you? Even in the early 2000s, it's definitely possible for a teen to pass for an adult and it not be questioned. I was only a few years older than her when this happened so I can definitely understand why he would've thought she was an adult. As well as, you didn't really question a person's age back then either. Times were completely different from now and more people took things at face value than questioning everything as we do now.

Truly. May he rest easy always.
