Rich Homie Quan is still my ringtone when I heard his smash single "Walk Thru".
The Fulton County Medical Examiner said in a statement that Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital notified its personnel Thursday of the rapper's death.
He was 33, the office said.
A cause and manner of death was not released. An autopsy has been scheduled for Friday, the medical examiner said.
The artist, whose given name is Dequantes Devontay Lamar, scored a big hit more than a decade ago with the song “Type of Way.” He followed it up in 2015 with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh).”
Rapper Boosie Badazz posted about his friend’s death on social media.
He said the two had “GOOD ASS MEMORIES TOGETHER N THAT GO ALWAYS BRING A SMILE TO MY FACE. #restupquan.”
Boosie Badazz said the two artists were collaborating together before Rich Homie Quan's death.
Rich Homie Quan's family and his management representatives could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
Mark Dantonio, the former head football coach at Michigan State University, posted a picture on X of him and Rich Homie Quan embracing after Dantonio's team won the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2014.
"Type of way" became the squad's celebratory anthem for the season. Players and coaches danced to the smash hit in the locker room following their 24-20 win over Stanford University.
Young Thug is prevented from contacting Rich Homie Quan's family because of the Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis believes he is eluding criminal acts while on trial. |
"RIP @RichHomieQuan Special Time, Special Place with Special People," Dantonio wrote, ending the post with an emoji of praying hands.
