‘Not a f***ing penny’: Oliver Tree’s eerie comments about his radical will resurface weeks before tragic helicopter crash death
A few weeks before his untimely passing, Tree was featured on ‘The Zach Sang Show.’ The singer candidly discussed the will he had made at the time. Tree had revealed that none of his family members would receive any money after his passing, as he never believed the money he received was his to begin with.He had commented during the interview that “I don’t believe that any of the wealth or the things that get made from it is mine. So when I die — I’ve set it up — my will is set up that when I pass, my family, no one’s going to get a penny.” Further on, he had shared that if he ever had children, they would be taken care of because his “dad worked on some stuff in the 2000s.”Further on, he explained, “If I have a wife or kids or anything, [they’re] not getting a f—ing penny,” he continued, explaining, “I’ll get my kids through college. That’s the agreement. But there’s not going to be a silver spoon. The idea is, when I die, all the money is going to go back to artists.”
What Oliver Tree was planning on doing with his funds
He mentioned in the same interview that he had set up an organization meant to collect all of the money and any other funds that came from his work. He had added at the time that “When I die, my art will continue to have residuals and probably be worth more than it is now. People will finally appreciate my stupid f—ing videos or my stupid f—ing songs. That’s when people appreciate you, when you’re not there anymore. I have basically a committee that I’ve set up when I pass — and I plan to do it while I’m alive — where basically everyone will vote on who the money goes to each year.“The singer set up the organization to ensure that new and upcoming artists in the industry get the funding they need to pursue their career and dreams.
