Rapper Rich Homie Quan has died, Page Six can confirm. He was 33.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office tell us that Grady Memorial Hospital notified them of the death of the “Type of Way” rapper, whose real name was Dequantes Devontay Lamar, on Thursday.
The spokesperson also said an autopsy has been scheduled for Friday.
Fellow rapper Boosie BadAzz, whose real name is Torrence Ivy Hatch Jr., was one of the first to confirm the news, writing via X Thursday, “JUST TALKED TO YOU BRA 😓 #tipQUAN Never go forget yo smile n the way talked n of course yo music 💯.”
The “Wipe Me Down” rapper, 41, also appeared to reveal the suspected cause of death, sharing in a separate X post Thursday, “JUST GOT WORD @RichHomieQuan JUST OD ‼️”
Quan’s official cause of death has not been confirmed.
Podcaster Adam Grandmaison, known as Adam22, took to his Instagram Stories Thursday to post a photo of him and Quan writing over it, “RIP Rich Homie Quan.”
TMZ reported Thursday that Quan’s relatives are “shattered and heartbroken by his sudden death.”
The outlet also reported that the “Lifestyle” rapper died at his home in Atlanta. His family is reportedly still “searching for answers” on his cause of death.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Quan but did not immediately hear back. The rapper’s social media has also not released any official statements.
Quan’s last post on Instagram was shared Monday and featured him wearing a football jersey and eyeglasses.
The slideshow, which also showed him performing, was captioned, “Vision clear even through the BS 🤫.”
Quan’s alleged drug use had gotten him in trouble in the past.
In May 2017, he was charged with felony drug possession with the intent to distribute but the case was then dismissed in 2019 due to lack of evidence, according to TMZ.
Quan, who was born in Atlanta, was famously known for being a member of Cash Money Records.
His 2015 single “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” topped the Billboard Charts at No. 26.
