Rich Homie Quan’s Father Says Funeral Service Will Be Open To The Public

by

Today, we have been gathering more and more information about the tragic and bewildering passing of Rich Homie Quan. Just hours ago, we got word about what possibly caused his death. There’s been some speculation that it was a drug overdose; however, a death incident report from local authorities tells a different story. Accounts from the rapper’s brother, Andre Munford, and girlfriend, Amber Williams suggest that he somehow passed out while eating and choked on the food that was in his mouth. More details are sure to arise soon, but none of that really matters. We are all heartbroken over his loss and the father of the Atlanta MC knows that.

Its why Rich Homie Quan’s funeral is going to be open to everyone, according to Corey Lamar. Penn Live says that the original plans for the service were going to be private and abbreviated. This was so that the family could begin “the healing process” sooner. However, Mr. Lamar clearly did some thinking and felt that people who supported him in any way deserved the opportunity to come too.

“Without the fans, there would be no Quan,” he said. At this time, nothing else is known about the hard details. Mr. Lamar says information on the service “will be shared soon”, though. Fans online are pretty skeptical and/or not happy about this decision, as they feel strangers at a rapper’s funeral could get out of hand. At the end of the day, though, it’s up to the family and everyone should respect the decision they’ve gone with.

Then, when she returned from dropping her boy off, Quan remained in the same spot. So, Amber decided to head back to bed to get some more rest. After getting back up at 11 a.m., the Atlanta MC still didn’t get up from the seat. Because of this, Amber decided to see what was up and noticed that his body was cold and was also not breathing. That’s when she called 911. He was transported to Grady Hospital in Atlanta and died there. It’s worth noting that police did not report anything in the death incident about foul play or any sort of crime. XXL has reached out to the Atlanta PD, but no response as of yet.

What are your thoughts on the details of Rich Homie Quan’s death incident report? Do you think he purely choked on his food or do you think something else happened prior to that?

Sexyy Red Honors Rich Homie Quan During Her Show

by

Sexyy Red was one of many artists shocked by the sudden death of Rich Homie Quan. News of this broke on Thursday (September 5), the same day she had a “Sexyy Red 4 President” tour stop in Lincoln, Nebraska alongside her tour mate Kodak Black. The St. Louis femcee paid tribute to the late Atlanta icon’s memory by briefly playing his classic 2013 cut “Type Of Way.” While these two rappers never collaborated, interacted much if at all, and probably might’ve never met each other, it’s still heartening albeit tragic to see that the younger generation of hip-hop artists knows how special RHQ is and how saddening this loss is.

One small reason as to why this tragedy struck so many folks so deeply is that we will never get to see the reconciliation between Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug that they had spoken about and that fans dreamed of. “We do have a lot of music that hasn’t been released,” Quan had said in an interview before passing away later down the line. “But who knows what the future holds? First and foremost, it’s free Thugger. It’s free anybody that’s locked up, it’s free Lucci. It’s a touchy situation, so I try not to talk about it a lot. But I don’t know what the future holds, man, you know what I’m saying? I’m willing to have a conversation, and it’ll start from there.”

Sexyy Red Pays Tribute To Rich Homie Quan

Another recent and perhaps unexpected tribute to Rich Homie Quan came from Big Sean. “We got a lot of good memories together, you know what I’m saying?” he told TMZ on Thursday. “We’ve been in the studio, Treehouse Studios, you know, ATL. We had some great sessions, me and Rich Homie. He was one of one. He was one of one, for sure. His style… He was just very special, a very good heart. It’s such a tragedy hearing about his loss today.”

Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan’s music is unsurprisingly experiencing a big boost these days. There are a lot of debates on whether or not these reflections and tributes are legitimate. Some rappers and other colleagues out there think that some folks are spreading fake love. But regardless of where it comes from, there’s a well-deserved grieving process right now through which fans and loved ones are personally honoring his legacy, impact, and memory.
RIP Rich Homie Quan.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Rappers’ Reactions To Rich Homie Quan’s Death

by

Rich Homie Quan spent over a decade crafting his artistry in the game before his untimely loss, even if the peaks of his powers came and went some years ago in many fans’ eyes. But hardcore listeners know that he kept releasing music all throughout, and that he still had a lot of compelling ideas and creative decisions in his art. Moreover, many hip-hop figures have commented on how the Atlanta artist’s legacy will change and evolve now that he’s no longer with us, with some thinking that this reappraisal is coming off as fake from a few select MCs and producers out there. DJ Akademiks expressed a similar sentiment on his livestream. Specifically, he compared this situation to another recent rap tragedy. “There’s so many Atlanta rappers who I’ve seen chime in, as well,” Ak began. “I haven’t posted all of them, honestly.

“The reason why I didn’t post all of them is ’cause I got the feeling that I felt when I was talking to PnB Rock,” DJ Akademiks continued. “I can tell you how the PnB Rock interview happened. PnB Rock and me weren’t best friends. PnB Rock did an interview, his last interview on my platform because none of these industry n***as f***ed with him. We talked for two hours. Before we started the interview, he told me how every single artist – The artist that was crying the most when he died? ‘Yeah, I’m waiting on this n***a to give me a verse. But that n***a playing around. Like, n***a switched up on me.’ Obviously, I will not say names, because he never said this on camera. He said it to me personally. I was so shocked and disappointed. All the n***as he was complaining about who didn’t f**k with him no more, they were the n***as that acted like they were the most hurt.

DJ Akademiks On Rich Homie Quan

“They were devastated,” DJ Akademiks went on. “‘Oh, that was my brother!’ This industry is a very fake place. Go watch the interview back I did with PnB Rock. A lot of it is him talking about how things have changed over the years. When he came in the game and when he got hot, cool. But he made a couple of mistakes as a young [man], and a lot of things changed. Rich Homie Quan, the same thing. And I always tell y’all. With these artists, I get the real interview before. Whatever y’all see on camera, that’s not the real interview. They gon’ tell me the truth about all these f**k n***as off camera, when they know I’m not recording. Same with Rich Homie Quan.

“‘All these Atlanta n***as, oh, they just now started feeling it’s cool to f**k with me. I don’t got no problem with bro, but it’s ’cause bro locked up now. These n***as d**k-riders,’” DJ Akademiks quoted. “This is what Quan is telling me! Quan dies? The whole Atlanta, ‘Oh my God, we love you, Quan!‘ Some of the n***as he even said wouldn’t f**k with him. He couldn’t get a beat from, couldn’t get a verse from… I look on the ‘Gram, ‘I know it ain’t you!’ But it ain’t my place once again. It ain’t on me to be like, ‘You know Quan told me you was a f**k n***a who stopped f***ing with him at this time because of this issue?’ But you want to – I won’t even say nothing. It’s cool. But I only say that to contextualize it to let you know that a lot of these n***as… They’re only a funeral delivery service for your flowers. They ain’t gon’ show up when you alive.”

Fans Are Questioning Rich Homie Quan’s Love Life

A second women got on TikTok to explain how she met Rich Homie Quan. She goes by the handle @lilafromval, and she claimed to have gotten close to the rapper after an episode of 20-v-1. “I lost a great friend today,” she wrote. “Your gone but will never be forgotten.” The comment section flooded with fans criticizing the woman for overstepping, so she decided to clarify. She posted a video with a very clear message to angry commenters: she was not romantically involved with Quan. She even made reference to the woman who kicked off this unexpected trend: Erica Mena. “I’m not Erica,” she asserted.

Erica Mena, of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta fame, posted some very intimate photos/videos of her and Quan. Like those we already mentioned Mena was heartbroken by the rapper’s death and waxed poetic about the special times they had together. Mena’s former Love & Hip Hop co-star, Akbar V, blew up her spot, though. She urged Mena to take the post down out of respect for Quan’s family. She called Quan and and Mena’s relationship a “secret,” and Mena subsequently took her Instagram post down.
