Former NFL star, Aaron Hernandez was serving a life sentence after being convicted or murder, but that sentence was cut short when he decided to take his own life. Hernandez left behind a total of 3 suicide notes, addressed to different people in his life.

One of the people Aaron Hernandez left a letter to was his lawyer, Joey Baez. The letter had not been seen until Baez recently published it in his new book, Unnecessary Roughness: Inside the Trial and Final Days of Aaron Hernandez. In the letter, Hernandez asks Baez if he can get in touch with the likes of Jay-Z, Rick Ross, The Game, Meek Mill, and Kevin Gates.

“I need a favor — If you have any contacts for any artists like Gates, Meek Mill, Ross, Jay, Game … etc. I would like to send you letters so you can send to their information or whichever way you think best,” Hernandez states in the letter.

Hernandez wanted his lawyer to reach out to all of these artists to let them know that they helped get him through hard times, while he was going through his trials and tribulations. “I don’t want any media really getting into me, trying to just send my love to all the artists who got me through my tough times and sending my respect to a few of the real ones out there. So I think that’s the best idea through you,” he continued. “It’s something I have to do and I’d appreciate if you could do that for me, if possible! If not, I’ll figure something out. Well, get at me, love ya brother!”
