The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed to E! News that the young rapper died as a result of mixed fentanyl and ethanol toxicity. The manner of death is accidental. A Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson told E! News at the time that authorities responded to a medical situation at a local hotel, where an adult female was found deceased.
The young starlet was on her way to a promising career as a rap artist. She had only released two albums at the time of her death. Joseph’s Coat, was released in 2015 when she was just 17, and her second album, Growing Pains, released two years later in 2017.
