American rapper, Rich Homie Quan has passed away at 34.
He passed away on September 5, 2024
According to news circulated online, the rapper reportedly died from a drug overdose.
The 34-year-old Atlanta rapper was recently in the stands at the ongoing trial of YSL label boss Young Thug who is facing RICO charges over running a gang responsible for several murders.
Some celebrities have posted about Rich Homie Quan’s passing including rapper Boosie whose post on X confirmed the reports of an overdose being responsible for the Quan’s demise.
Rich Homie Quan was a member of the Young Stoner Life Records owned by Atlanta rapper Young Thug.
The late rapper is popular for the hit songs ‘Type of Way,’ ‘Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)’, and ‘Lifestyle’ on which he appeared alongside Young Thug and Birdman.
He also released nearly 20 albums in a career that spanned over a decade.
Quan was born Dequantes Lamar in Atlanta, Georgia in October 1989. He attended Ronald McNair Sr High School and as a young man aspired to become a professional baseball player.
His ability as a center fielder and leadoff hitter earned him a scholarship to Fort Valley State University, but he dropped out two weeks later due to the cost of tuition.
Lamar later worked at an airport, but after losing his job he got involved in burglaries and went on to spend 15 months in jail.
After leaving incarceration, Lamar threw himself into music.
His 2013 single “Type of Way” brought him to mainstream attention, and he had another hit with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” in 2015.
By then, he had also teamed up with Cash Money Records founder Birdman and fellow rapper Young Thug as Rich Gang, and they had a hit of their own with 2014’s “Lifestyle.”
In November 2016, Lamar sued his former label Think It’s A Game for $2m over alleged unpaid royalties. They counter-sued him for breach of contract, and both suits were eventually settled out of court.
In 2017, Lamar signed a record deal with Motown Records and the following year he released his debut studio album Rich as in Spirit. The album featured a guest appearance from rapper Rick Ross and produced a pair of singles: “Changed” and “34”.
The album debuted at 32 on the Billboard 200 chart.
His last full-length mixtape, Family & Mula Reloaded, was released in 2022
