Rapper Rich Homie Quan’s de*th ruled as accidental overdose
Rich Homie Quan, the American rapper, passed away due to an unintentional overdose of drugs, confirmed by the medical examiner’s office in Georgia.
The cause of his death was attributed to a combination of drugs including fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, and promethazine, as detailed in a report from Fulton County’s medical examiner.
The report said that Quan showed no signs of trauma when his body was found. His death was ruled an accident.
His brother mentioned to the police that Quan appeared to be asleep near the kitchen before he was lifted and placed on the couch, which was considered unusual by him because there was still food in Quan’s 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 the 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.
