This week, the hip-hop community is mourning the death of 20-year-old Dallas, TX rapper Lil Loaded. The young artist was the one to look out for this year, especially following his recent success. Signed to Epic Records, the rapper was gearing up for a big year ahead.
Epic Records has now issued a statement on Lil Loaded’s death, reading, “Epic Records is deeply saddened and devasted by the untimely death of rising hip-hop star, Dashawn ‘Lil Loaded’ Robertson. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.”
There’s yet to be an announcement regarding Loaded’s official cause of death as Cedar Hill Police continue their investigation. The rapper’s attorney suggested that his passing was a result of suicide. His lawyer’s statement came after one of Loaded’s friends said that he died from suicide.
