Wednesday, October 02, 2024 - American rapper Rich Homie Quan died from an accidental drug overdose, the medical examiner's office in Georgia confirmed.
The cause of death for the hip-hop performer, born Dequantes
Devontay Lamar, was from a slew of drugs such as fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine,
and promethazine, according to a Fulton County medical examiner's report.
The report said that Quan showed no signs of trauma when his
body was found. His death was ruled an accident.
His brother told police that he thought Quan was asleep on
the floor by the kitchen before he picked up the rapper and put him on the
couch, saying it was “very unusual” to see food still in his mouth.
Later that morning, police were called by a woman who
noticed that Quan’s body was cold and he was not breathing.
Quan, 33, who died at an Atlanta hospital on Sept. 5, was
one of the biggest names in hip-hop in the mid-2010s. He gained
mainstream fame through the trap singles “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)" and “Type
of Way," which became such a success that several other rappers jumped on
the remix, including Jeezy and Meek Mill.
Quan appeared on a YG track with Jeezy and released the
London on da Track-produced song “Lifestyle” through his Rich Gang rap
collective that included Young Thug and Birdman.
Quan followed up with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” a song
produced by DJ Spinz and Nitti Beatz. It became his highest charting solo
single at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He was also featured
on Lil Dicky’s viral “$ave Dat Money.”
In 2018, Quan debuted his first and only studio album “Rich
as in Spirit,” which mostly went without any features except for “Think
About It,” a single with Rick Ross.
