I know that a hand full of people that will read this wont remember him, so fasten your seat belt we gonna quick a stop down memory lane. It was the year 2011 Khlomoney and Lamar Odom just got married and they got it into there head to start there own reality tv series titled "Khloe and Lamar". This Jamie was the guy that Khloe couldn't stand, he was always intruding, showing up uninvited. I think Khloe confronted him and i think he took it down a notch. Still don't remember him? Well!
Lamar Odom's best friend Jamie Sangouthai died on Sunday of a reported drug overdose.
The
New York native, a long-time friend of the basketball player who
appeared on the reality series Khloe & Lamar, died from a suspected
heroin overdose aged 37, according to an article on Sunday by TMZ.
Khloe
Kardashian, 30, tweeted her heartbreak over the loss on Sunday with a
brief but emotional message: 'When does it stop? RIP Jamie Sangouthai'.
Although
the reality TV star had been known to have her differences with her
husband's very close friend during the series, she put aside her
previous feelings to share her condolences.
She
has also since shared a cartoon of a crying woman on her Instagram
page, along with the caption: 'Life doesn't get easier but I promise you
that life will make you stronger.'
The gossip website reported that Sangouthai died on Sunday at a hospital in downtown Los Angeles after 911 was called.
Some linked and even blamed him for Odom's alleged crack cocaine abuse two years ago during his split from his estranged wife.
However,
he was remembered fondly by those who knew him, including Khloe's best
friend Malika Haqq who posted a snap on Sunday of all of them to
Instagram.
She
accompanied the photo with the note: 'Thru good and bad times life
shows us every spirit matters and leaves a print on the hearts of others
after they have passed... RIP Jamie Sangouthai #GodHelpUsAll'.
Sangouthai
and Odom both grew up in the Queens borough of New York City and were
longtime friends with a passion for basketball, and he was a regular
addition to their Keeping Up With The Kardashians spin-off show Khloe
& Lamar.
The reality series, focused on the couple's hectic lifestyle, ran for two seasons between 2011 and 2012.
Jamie
was a regular 'supporting' cast member who, at one time lived next door
to the couple - he also partnered with Lamar on his clothing line Rich
Soil.
There were
several tense moments during the show, mostly due to Lamar's closeness
with Jamie and Khloe not being completely approving of her husband's
friend-cum-business partner.
In
an episode in the show's second season, Khloe and Lamar - who split at
the end of 2013 - were seen fighting while preparing to move home.
The
sportsman wanted to move his best buddy Jamie in with them in Texas,
after he had been traded from the LA Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks, but
Khloe put her foot down, causing tension between the pair.
Another
moment on the show saw Khloe raising concerns over her husband's
wellbeing after being separated from Jamie following his move to Dallas,
as the latter had been complaining that he couldn't get into clubs
since his companion had moved away for work and gave him a notably
frosty reception when seeing him again.
In
November 2013, long after their show had ended and shortly before Khloe
filed for divorce, Lamar was seen in a video posted online, seemingly
drunk and rapping with Jamie about cheating on his wife.
A source
told TMZ at the time that the basketball star insisted he was 's**faced
drunk' rather than being high on drugs while filming the controversial
video.
The
website said Lamar told friends no drugs were involved. 'He insists
he's clean and training hard at the University of Rhode Island.'
Throughout
the three minute-long video Lamar slurred and was almost
incomprehensible as he rapped shirtless with his longtime friend Jamie
Sangouthai, a former basketball player who Khloe has said several times
on Khloe & Lamar she's not fond of.
The
most shocking part of the clip was that at one point the basketball
star clearly whispered slowly, 'When Khloe's out of town, I still be
going on the DL.' DL translates to any activity or relationship kept
discreet.
Jamie
then jumped in with, 'You know what it is, We the QU [Queens] pimps,
Ask any of these shorties, We ran through their cribs, up and down those
hills, down the hills, over in East L.A., and tae us to the jungle and
we A-OK.'
The
headline-making clip continued, showing the longtime friends rapping
more, albeit mostly incoherently about Khloe and drugs.
Sangouthai was diagnosed with the digestive disease diverticulitis in 2008 that required three surgeries.
He
told the Los Angeles Times in April 2011 that Odom helped with his
medical expenses and also had his Los Angeles Lakers teammates call him
with well wishes.
Odom, 35, lost his mother to colon cancer when he was aged 12 and his father was a heroin addict.
His
infant son Jayden with ex-girlfriend Liza Morales died from Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome in June 2006 while sleeping in his crib in New
York.
The
former Lakers star was arrested in August 2013 on charges of driving
under the influence and pleaded no contest in December 2013.
Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar in December 2013 but it has yet to be finalized
