Rapper Lil Keed, a rising star from Atlanta and member of Young Thug’s controversial YSL label, is dead, this was according to his reps and family members, TMZ reports.
According to the report, the L.A County Coroner’s Office confirmed to TMZ that Lill Keed died at Burbank Hospital at around 10 PM on Friday night. No cause or manner of death has been released as officials are investigating.
His brother, Lil Gotit, said, “Can’t believe I seened u die today bro I did all my cries I know what u want me to do and that’s go hard for Mama Daddy Our Brothers Naychur and Whiteboy.”
Complex first reported the death after getting confirmation from Keed’s reps.
Although the “Trapped on Cleveland 3” rapper was signed to YSL, he was not part of the recent indictment in Atlanta that led to Gunna, Young Thug and 26 other YSL associates getting arrested on RICO charges.
After the raid and arrests, Lil Keed posted an impassioned declaration about his label, insisting YSL was not a criminal organization as the Fulton County D.A. has claimed in the 56-count indictment.
Lil Keed recorded many popular songs, including “Snake,” “She Know” and “Wavy (Remix).” Keeds garnered plenty of success from his own albums and mixtapes, as well as being featured on tracks with artists like Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Chris Brown, Future, Zaytoven and Lil Yachty.
Offset, from the popular rap trio, Migos, took to his IG story and said, “Damn twin rip.”
Rapper Taylor Bennett wrote on his IG, “Keed you are the new sound of music surpassing hip hop and all genres.”
