Aaron Carter’s 17-Acre Compound | MTV Cribs 

I was one of the carpenters that helped build Nicks Bamboo cottage on that property. Their dad was always working doing something, He would stop by and hang out with us on our lunch break. Down to earth nice guy, he would tell us stories about how it was before his kids hit it big and they were pulled into that lifestyle. You could tell he loved his family and was worried about what this fame was bringing with it. In the brief moments I met Aaron you could feel that same down to earth quality. Even amongst the craziness that surrounded him he was always kindhearted; he loved his family more than anything! Heavon has gained a gentle and loving soul, my prayers to his family and all who loved him.

Can’t believe he found out his parents were getting a divorce this same day yet was still forced to do this, showing off a house he knew wouldn’t exist anymore My heart breaks for him. RIP Aaron

*_This is the Aaron 🕊 I want to remember!!_* 😔

He had such a genuine sense of humor and great personality. I hate drugs, man.

Aaron Carter had the same level of fame as Justin Bieber back in the early 00's he was literally everywhere from disney to regular ads I remember as a kid you couldn't go anywhere without seeing him He had a good singing career when he was young until his parents did him wrong sold everything and his life went into a steep decline. This is so sad he didn't deserve this. rest in peace!

One of the million examples where money doesn’t buy happiness. Rest In Peace

It’s amazing when you consider two kids paid for all that. Aaron worked all his childhood yet had to start from scratch in adulthood. RIP. He tried hard & always smiled & was a kind, gentle, forgiving, sensitive soul.

I broke down and cried when watching this.. His parents forced him to do this episode of Cribs the day they announced to him that they were divorcing and he was about to lose everything he showed off in that house. This really hit a nerve for me because I was thrown out of the house I grew up in after my last immediate family died, and I lost some things and also left some things behind out of my own negligence. I never got over it, even though I had another home to go to and tried to replace what was lost, it never actually replaces anything. I still have nightmares, flashbacks.. There’s nothing I can do about it now. When Aaron did the interview 2 decades later on how his parents made him do the t.v. show tour the day they told him they were divorcing, and he broke down crying as a 30-year-old man, as though it just happened yesterday, that REALLY hit home for me. Here he was with his own house and his own things and a new life, and it still affected him 20 years later.. There’s a definite trauma that comes with traumatic family change like divorce or death and then getting displaced from your home that DOESN’T GO AWAY. This man was self-medicating because he was in PAIN. Then his father died a few years later and that must have been the cherry on top to finally tip him over the edge. I am so, so sorry Aaron. I only stopped following you on social media right before your death because it was so hard to see you self-destruct with no sign of stopping in sight, but I now know you were hurting so much, and I wish I could have turned back time for you and made your parents choose your well-being over fame and fortune.. Anything that may have saved you. I love you and Rest In Peace angel 💐

They really had him showcase their house, knowing full well he was about to lose all of it. Lovely.

He was literal living proof that money doesn’t buy happiness. I believe he never would’ve turned into an addict had he lived a normal childhood with caring parents. This kid was doomed from the start. Never cared much about his music, but I feel bad for him after hearing about his life. He could buy anything he wants, but in the end all he wanted was to be a normal kid with loving parents. Damn shame. RIP

Crazy how much love he is getting in these comments when a week ago half of yalll wouldn’t have watched it and just considered him a “clown” we should show that love before they are gone forever. Might have made a huge impact on how he lived his life

Aaron deserved better. Even down to his ex, everyone in his life was toxic. RIP aaron.

I felt that his parents didn’t deserve him. May he find peace in heaven.

I just wanted to say that I met Aaron Carter at his show in STL in I think 2014. But he is the kindest person. I met him at the meet & greet and he kissed my cheek & told me he loved me. Felt like we really had a connection. I cried like a baby the moment I walked into the meet & greet room, cuz I had always dreamed about that since I was a little girl. I remember watching him kiss Lizzie McGuire and I wanted that too. Then it really happened on a spur of the moment night later in my life. Shoutout to you Aaron, bless your soul man. I’ll never forget you

I remember watching this as a kid vividly. RIP Aaron :/

What this baby went through is horrible. My heart breaks for him.

His studio, his vinyl collection, his drum kit set up equipment, his dogs, etc He was living his dream life. How time just hits the reality reset button. RIP.

His parents telling him they were getting a divorce this same day but he still had to do this. SAD! His parents exploiting him even worse. 🥺 RIP

I think people sleep on how big AC was back in the day. Aarons party went 3x platinum in America, which is as much as Justin Timberlake's first album sold. If he had good people looking out for him and fostering his talent, I think he could have carved out a good career and stuck around. Sadly he was taken advantage of by everyone involved.

They should re-edit all of these “cribs” episodes with a short update on their lives at the end. Would make them so much more interesting to watch.

This just breaks my heart. Another lost child star. I'm 37 now, makes me miss being a kid.

When you realize that after this show Aaron's life never got better it makes what he is now so much more tragic. I hope Aaron's family support him before it's too late

knowing he was about to lose that all and played it cool is heartbreaking

It's sad he's living in the past right now

This actually made me happy to watch. Aaron's genuine, calm, funny, articulate and proud here, he looks at peace. RIP ❤️

I feel like Aaron got stuck at this age. Arrested development.

MTV Cribs = rent some house for the weekend and put a few family photos in there to convince people you actually live there lol

“I been rocking ice my whole life, I been with the shits. I always been real af. I mean in my cribs episode I was wearing a tupac shirt.” -Aaron on no jumper

I have watched Aaron sober and I have watched when he was into his addiction .What a world of a difference .He truly is a sweet heart sober .

I just saw a clip on FB of Aaron saying that this is one of the hardest things he had to do. The morning of the day this was filmed, he found out that his parents were getting divorced but they said he still had to shoot MTV cribs 💔

Seems like a very kind and caring but somewhat naive kid. Really just a kid. Take care of each other friends. 🕊️

It's kind of sad to watch this. He wasn't a bad kid. He lost all of this. Young money.

Money can not buy happiness and joy important is the Love of the family and bonding

Super shitty what his parents did to him. They drained all of his assets, and he was broke at 18. Aaron actually said in an interview that once the camera crews left after taping this episode of Cribs, his parents pulled him and the siblings aside to tell them they were getting a divorce....

I remember watching this way back then on MTV when I was just a kid. I was thinking, man this kid is so lucky, I wish I was like him.

Such a wonder young man he was - he seemed so happy in this video - just so sad to see him pass . My heart breaks - RIP Aaron let your wings fly .😢❤

17 years old talking about “this is my love shack”

I met Aaron 13 years ago .the sweetest soul ..he will be missed forever

Him and nick worked so hard to give their parents a beautiful home.. for them to do their kids dirty and Aaron left this world with nothing :(

Showing his fridge and sink is actually adorable:)

One of the million examples where money doesn’t buy happiness. Rest In Peace man

had no idea he was a drummer, damn wish we heard more of him behind the kit. those double hi-hat hits were smooth

Wow this is crazy hard to believe Aaron passed away today watching this makes me feel like I’m younger again 😢. Aaron you are definitely a legend dude❤.. Hard to believe that you’re about the Lord❤.. I sure do miss the hell out of you Aaron😢 I know this can’t be true but it is I don’t know what to think about your passing 😢. you always put a smile on my face hard to believe you are young and now you’re 34 Listening to this makes me feel like he was with me❤. i’ll see you on the other side Aaron .. I never thought in 1 million years that I would’ve ever talk to you .. I know the time we’ll be right when I see you again❤ I love your number one fan MTV cribs ❤❤😊

Crazy how life can change over time. Doesn't matter who you are.

Aaron said just before he filmed his mtv cribs on the same day, he learned his parents were going to get divorced. I feel sad for him. It’s sucks knowing your parents are going to get divorced but Aaron did such a good job of pretending like his personal life didn’t affect him in this show. I guess even people that seemed to have it all in life could be the ones that have it worst

rest in peace aaron carter you will be missed in music history

He's adorable 🥰 here, young and vulnerable. It makes me sad actually. He doesn't really know any different when raised by narcissistic parents. I hope he raises his son better. ❤️

Oh my gosh I remember this episode. I feel old now.

The way the music changes every 10 seconds is amazing

Very pleasant young guy with so many likeable qualities rest in peace beautiful soul you deserve all the happiness in heaven many will miss your presence even without knowing you in person

This was sadly the beginning of the end for Aaron when he did this on MTV Cribs. After his parents divorced he started going downhill, not only him but his sister Leslie as well who died in 2012 from drug addiction and then his father Gene in 2017. His mom took all his money he made from his career too when he was as big as Justin Bieber of the 90s and early 00s. RIP

Wow he was a great drummer! That was awesome! RIP AC

Rest in Peace Aaron Carter. Poor Baby. I wish somebody had hugged and loved on him enough

So he got everything… except for his Family Support. Lonely boy who desperately seek for love and acceptance. Hollywood is brutal. R. I.P. Aaron 😢

It’s so crazy how on top he was and what he is now. Insane.

His mom and dad told him they’re gonna get divorce the exact day this episode was shot (which is very selfish and bad timing) and it messed him up a lot. Having to pretend everything is ok when in reality this house isn’t gonna be a complete happy family house anymore.. RIP!

It's sad how his parents were getting divorced during this and he was focusing on the family room and their portraits. You can feel it in retrospect.

Such a beautiful and sweet little boy. I am so so sorry for him. 😭😭😭

Money can’t buy you happiness . I’m sorry Aaron & his family . RIP . I know you made a lot of people happy . Hope you find peace in the next life brother ❤

In the original airing of this episode, they played his music in the background. They removed it here, probably due to copyright.

This guy literally had everything. Nice house, nice cars, was handsome, was white, was rich. He could’ve done sooooooo much with his life. I want to know where it went wrong. Poor Aaron. Makes me sad

I use to be in love with him when I was younger and his brother Nick can't believe no one cared enough to get him help... Rip 🙏😢

He was so fun to watch. You couldn't tell what he was actually feeling that day. He knew about the divorce before they filmed this. Their parents told him to do it anyways so he did. He's been through so much. You could now finally rest, Aaron. 😞

He was a cute and talented kid. Unfortunately, life was not easy for him as he got older. It's sad. I so wish he hadn't passed. Just heartbreaking.

This is in Marathon,FL. When I spent summers there as a teen, I'd somewhat often see that custom white Escalade driving around

I see he has a 2pac shirt on. R.I.P🕊 to both of them

So sad. Prayers for The Carter Family.

Back in the 90s I saw his room (different to this) in a magazine article and there were tons of stuffed animals on his bed. It said he collected them from his concerts. So I was very excited when we went to a concert of him and I threw a stuffed animal... right in the middle of the people in front of us. 😅 makes me wonder if those on the bed in this video were from concerts too.

He really created a good life for his family may he rest in peace

He was so adorable. 🥺

Rest In Peace Aaron carter we will miss you forever and always

Its sad to find out that most of the celebs on this show didn't own the stuff they show off. They either rented it or borrowed it and they have to give it back afterwards. Just goes to show that celebrity lifestyle is not all glamorous. It's a shady shady world to be in. What makes it sadder is that There are people who don't realize that or don't care. There are people who are willing to go Into thousands And thousands of dollars in debt just to show people what they think they have but in reality they dont.

This man is an angel. Always was on earth and always will be in his death. I remember seeing this as my love for him was in full swing. My young self was in awe over his talent. He never learned to love life for himself and it is such a heartbreaking scenario. Rest in peace sweet Aaron.

My ultimate crush back in 90s Aaron I'm gonna miss u forever!! Rip my love

Aw. I was so in love with him when I was a kid. I hope he woke up somewhere else and is doing better. RIP ARRON FROM THIS SIMULATION

“He’s always in the jungle” anyone who hasn’t checked his No Jumper interviews go watch you’ll have some good laughs

Man I still can't believe he is gone 😭 Aaron your real fans love you so much 😭 miss you forever

Watching this makes me feel sad. At this age he was happy. Proud of his family and enjoying a privileged lifestyle. Now he’s battling addiction and abusive towards his baby’s mother. I’m sure if he could turn back the hands of time he would

He was so cute.. I remember thinking he was the cutest thing ever. ❤ rip

RIP A. Carter He's such a Teen Pop Legend 🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

Little did he know he would be the internets biggest cringe lord.

I’ve worked in mental health. I was also a Christian preacher, who lost his faith. While being a preacher isn’t rockstar status, it’s still a life in the spotlight. Once you’re in the spotlight, then out of it, all the people who admired you disappear. You go from being loved, to be hated almost instantly.

So sad. He had too do this the day he found out his parents were divorcing.. he didn't even want to do it. Breaks my heart. RIP Aaron 🙏

“I collect swords” -Picks up floor sword while gripping the blade tightly with his bare hand “I hang them up on the wall...and they stay there” -Puts floor sword back on the floor where it belongs “Make sure you do the same😎” I fine example of DO what I SAY not what I DO. Demonstrated by Aaron Carter

He’s always been talking about his brother. He took it hard that his brother was the bigger star

His legacy in music always remember rip aaron 😔

I remember thinking how humble and down to earth they all were. Those houses aren’t big at all. Most Florida houses aren’t much smaller/same size as those. ..little did I know it’s because his parents stole all his money.

He’ s the first like justine beiber famous teenage boy singer. I love this boy very talented and sweet face. Rip Aaron Carter 😢😢😢 you will be missed

According to the No Jumper interview he was actually thugging and selling dope around this time lol

Mannnnnnn Aaron was a damn G, rest his soul.

RU-vid full of Aaron Carter memories. RIP for Aaron.

He would have been happier in Florida.❤️ 🙏🕊️

There would be no justin bieber without this guy

RIP Aaron Carter!!!! 😢😭❤🎶🎼🎵

We use to live close to the Carter family they fell in love with our Fountain 42 Powerboat. Next day the went out purchased a 42 Fountain Race boat Art, Brit Lilly LSB SPORT BOATS painted in and customized it set it up for racing. It was called NICK CARTER RACING. The nicest family most generous really humble. RIP Arron & his Sister🙏🙏

This guys a weirdo but that custom dog seat at 4:07 is the best thing ever!

He was 15 in this and too young to take all the bad things that is gonna happen to him right after the recording of this. Always so sad for you Aaron. Rest in paradise 😢

When you have so much, so young.. and you’re higher than the clouds, there’s nowhere to go but down. RIP young man. You had a blessed life. Rest easy now

I watched this when I was going threw a bad time . I was 16 and not well . I remember imagining I was him and how perfect my life would be . You never see these people’s problems till you grow up and they grow up and you see the results. Really I see a good kid trying to be cool like all of us we’re trying to act gangster which we all did . But in a lot of pain I didn’t see that till now . I’m happy I’m well but genuinely sad he passed and wasn’t
