It also left them with a lot of questions about what led to the tragic loss. Now, the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office has delivered some answers.

Reportedly, oxycodone and benzodiazepines in particular were found in the young artist’s system. While this information certainly doesn’t make her passing any less devastating, it does provide her supporters with some closure.

Boosie Badazz Is Tired Of People Blaming Gucci Mane For His Label Artists’ Issues

by

Some of Gucci Mane’s artists under his 1017 label have seen tragic and unfortunate ends to their careers, whether it be Enchanting’s passing or the prison stints of rappers like Ralo. While many fans are sympathetic to these situations and advocate primarily for the well-being of all, others make occasionally disrespectful and always dismissive assumptions about how Guwop should be at fault for these circumstances. Boosie Badazz is one of many who is tired of this narrative against the Atlanta-based legend, as he remarked during his most recent VladTV interview with DJ Vlad. The media personality brought up this connection, and Boosie responded in kind.

First of all, he posited that any artist’s level of success and struggle is ultimately their responsibility above all else, and comes directly as a result of their choices. Boosie believes that Gucci Mane ultimately helps more than he harms, given that he gave these MCs a platform and a chance at a career that may not have appeared otherwise. Specifically, he mentioned Pooh Shiesty as someone who found a lot of acclaim and success, due in part to Gucci’s support and guidance. But at the end of the day, the artists themselves are who can take advantage of this opportunity and use it responsibly.

Boosie Thinks Gucci Mane Gets Undue Hate For His 1017 Artists’ Circumstances

In addition to all this, it’s important to note that the individual situations of 1017 artists can also fall victim to systemic issues in the justice system, such as excessive punishment, discrimination, and lack of a fair process. This is one of the reasons as to why Boosie thinks that being a rap CEO can be a “thankless job” that risks big investments with possibly meager returns. Also, there’s the chance that these artists can eventually turn on their supporters and the labels and people that help them get off the ground. This hasn’t happened much in Gucci’s case, but it’s nevertheless a difficult balance to strike.

Overall, Boosie praised Gucci Mane for his candid thoughts and efforts on these subjects in the quest to support his artists, and thinks that the industry needs to acknowledge how complicated these situations can be. “I was one of those type of artists, I was always going back and forth to jail,” Gucci told Keyshia Ka’oir in the All Things podcast’s first episode. “I try to help those artists that I feel I see a lot of myself in. But I feel like if I’m not helping them, who else gon’ help them? Nobody says that part of the story.”

RIP Enchanting: How The 1017 Artist Was Carving Her Own Lane

by

When Gucci Mane launched the latest iteration of the 1017 imprint, one of the standout artists in the line-up was Enchanting. The multi-talented singer and rapper immediately caught attention, not only because she was the only woman in the group, but also for her unique vocals. Sadly, news about Enchanting’s hospitalization started circling on June 10, 2024. Fans tried to stay optimistic about her progress as she was put on life support, but the 26-year-old artist was announced dead the next day. Despite the brevity of her career, Enchanting was already making a name for herself and had amassed a dedicated fanbase. Undoubtedly, her bright light dimmed out way too soon.

Enchanting’s Life Before Music

Channing Nicole Larry was a singer and rapper based in Texas. She started singing at a young age in her church choir and honed her vocal talents. She also used to make covers of songs she liked, primarily in the R&B genre, and share them on Soundcloud. While in high school, Enchanting was a cheerleader and played some other sports. She also had some side hustles like doing hair and nails, but hadn’t yet considered going into music full time. Her first mixtape, Love & Drugs, did well on Soundcloud, earning 100k plays, despite her not doing any promotion. That was when she realized that she could pursue music full-time and started to dedicate herself to her craft.

Breakout And Career

After high school, she started recording and releasing her own music. In an interview with Dallas Observer, she shared that music has always come naturally to her. However, it wasn’t something she had considered pursuing seriously until after school. Her first foray into music was through a friend who had a studio. He encouraged her to post covers online, despite her shy nature.

She went from posting covers to recording original music and released her first mixtape on Soundcloud. The success of her first mixtape spurred her on in her career which eventually caught the attention of Jay White. The producer, known for working with many talented rappers such as Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, told Enchanting that he believed he could get her signed. White showed her music to Gucci Mane who reached out to Enchanting personally and asked her to join 1017.

Enchanting shared that she had initially planned on focusing on R&B, but discovered she was a talented rapper while working with Gucci Mane and the other members of 1017. She featured on a few songs with Gucci Mane, and her softly delivered bars made her verses memorable. In 2022, she released her debut album, No Luv. The predominantly rap album included many features from artists such as Gucci Mane, the late Big Scarr, Kaliii, Coi Leray, and more. She followed up No Luv with Luv Scarred, an R&B-focused album that brought her lyricism and vocals to the forefront while showcasing her softer side. Alongside her music career, Enchanting also ran a successful OnlyFans page.

Enchanting’s Personal Life

Enchanting was in a long-term relationship with rapper MotionGod Bandman. The two met in 2022 and started dating that same year. The two didn’t work together too often, but she collaborated on his song “Trap Don’t Stop” in 2022. When Enchanting was hospitalized, Bandman shared some Facebook posts about her health. Since her death, he has shared some more posts mourning her.

Enchanting’s sister Kayy Jayy also shared some posts, first updating the public on her sister’s health status and mourning her when her death was confirmed. Kayy Jayy, or Kashunte Johnson, isn’t a rapper like her sister. She is a devoted mother to two children, a daughter, and a son, and resides in Houston, Texas.

Enchanting was also very close to the late rapper Big Scarr. Both artists were signed on 1017 by Gucci Mane in 2020 and Scarr released his debut mixtape, Big Grim Reaper in 2021. Big Scarr, whose real name was Alexander Woods, died in 2022 due to an accidental drug overdose. Enchanting shared many social media posts mourning him.

Enchanting signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 record label back in 2020 at just 22 years old. She dropped her debut project with the imprint, No Luv, in 2022. Earlier this year, she appeared on Campaign Reezo’s single, “Because of You.” Speaking with the Dallas Observer in 2023, she explained her love for making music. “I feel like music was always something that was easy for me,” she said at the time. “I felt like I was musically inclined, always. It was something that I thought should probably put more time and effort into, because it was natural, you know, instead of trying to force a talent.”

Gucci Mane Artist Enchanting Reportedly Placed On Life Support

by

Enchanting made quite the impression on Gucci Mane. She impressed the iconic rapper so much that she was signed to his 1017 record label in 2020, when she was only 22 years old. She’d already put out multiple projects, but it was the co-sign that really kicked her career into high gear. Enchanting dropped her debut 1017 project, No Luv, in 2022, and never looked back. Shockingly, the rapper’s trajectory was sidelined on June 10. According to Enchanting’s sister, she was placed on life support.

The revelation came from the Facebook of the aforementioned sibling, Kayy Jayy. Enchanting’s situation was not given much in the way of context or cause, but the revelation led to widespread assumption that she had already died. Several outlets posted articles and messages claiming Enchanting had died at the age of 26. Kayy Jayy subsequently issued another statement refuting these claims on Facebook. “Can y’all stop posting you have actual facts,” she explained. “She’s still fighting, she’s not dead… I’m here at the hospital. My sister is not dead.”

Enchanting’s Health Status Was Confirmed By Her Sister

Enchanting’s last full project was released in 2022, but the rapper continued to be prolific with features and singles. She dropped verses on the 2023 songs “RATCHET MONDAY” by Lonny Cash and “Slide” by Destiny Briona, as well as the 2024 single “Because of You” by Campaign Reezo. Enchanting has gone out of her way to collaborate with other female artists, which she explained during a 2023 interview with Dallas Observer. “It’s looking hopeful for more and more women to just continue to blow up,” she noted. “I feel like it was a male-dominated sport, but now it’s becoming more feminine-dominated. I love that for the girls.”

Enchanting also discussed her passion for songwriting, and how making music also served as a source of comfort. “I feel like music was always something that was easy for me,” she asserted. “I felt like I was musically inclined, always. It was something that I thought should probably put more time and effort into, because it was natural, you know, instead of trying to force a talent.” Gucci Mane evidently thought so, as he not only signed Enchanting but appeared on her singles “Issa Photoshoot” and “Big Chant.” We will provide additional details on the rapper’s condition as they come to light.

Gucci Mane Divulges On Why His Label’s Artists Keep Facing Jail Time

by

Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records hasn’t been very lucky when it comes to its artists’ experiences with the prison system, an unfortunate reality that is too heavy to be treated as a “coincidence or correlation” argument. It’s something that he’s always been upfront about wanting to support his team through, and something that he recently talked about with his wife. Moreover, Keyshia Ka’oir’s All Things podcast’s first episode invited Guwop, and despite their close bond, she didn’t hold back on some tough questions. While this definitely took him aback for a moment, it was interesting to see what his candid remarks were on something so serious.

“So the streets want to know why all your 1017 artists keep going to jail,” Keyshia Ka’oir asked Gucci Mane, who expressed surprise at the opening. “Oh, wow. So that’s how we gon’ start?” he asked his partner. “I was one of those type of artists, I was always going back and forth to jail. I try to help those artists that I feel I see a lot of myself in.” The “TakeDat” MC also posited that he’s always there to try and lend his artists in legal situations a helping hand “through their little bumps or whatever they’re going through. But I feel like if I’m not helping them, who else gon’ help them? Nobody says that part of the story.”

Furthermore, that part of the story is crucial when you consider the careers of Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Ralo, and more 1017 affiliates caught up in the prison system. Some of them already made it out, others remain behind bars, but Gucci Mane has publicly stood by all of them throughout their struggles. It’s not easy for a label boss to manage all these different careers, and even harder to see them develop in the way they have. But it’s a process he always seems willing to go through.

Meanwhile, speaking of Keyshia Ka’oir, she recently addressed pregnancy rumors that seek to take their relationship to the next level. We can only wonder what other revelations might come forward as a result of this All Things podcast, for which we’ll have to wait and see. As for 1017 Records, we wish all these artists the best in achieving accountability, dealing with their situations, and making it out. We’re sure that once they are free, Gucci Mane will be there with open arms to welcome them back to the game.
