Rich Homie Quan, the Atlanta rapper born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, has died. After rumblings on social media, TMZ confirmed on Thursday afternoon that the rapper had died with no cause of death officially reported. He was 33 years old.
Best known for songs like “Flex (Ooh Ooh Ooh)”, which inspired a dance trend on Vine in 2015, and “Lifestyle,” a collaboration with Young Thug, Lamar was a prominent member of Cash Money Records side project Rich Gang. His catchy, often quotable songs were right at home in the moment when trap music turned toward pop, and pop music turned its ear toward trap.
