Rising rapper Enchanting has passed away, according to confirmation by her management team and loved ones. The artist was formerly signed to Gucci Mane‘s 1017 label. The Texas native was only 26 years old.
The Shade Room spoke directly to her team to confirm the news that began circulating early Tuesday (June 11). Initial reports claimed that Enchanting was on life support.
Her team has since told TSR that she passed due to a reported overdose. She was first in critical condition. However, the details about where she died remain murky.
A representative from her management team added that the 26-year-old had been suffering from withdrawals in recent days.
“She came to my house the last four days to get clean. She tried her best, and I did everything I could to help her, she tried,” the rep said.
Enchanting’s alleged sister, Kay Jay, also confirmed her passing on social media, including Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). She shared a sister selfie with the caption, “I love you girl [broken heart emoticon].”
iHeart reports that the rapper has been in the music industry for the last eight years after releasing her debut mixtape ‘Love & Drugs.’ Gucci Mane reportedly signed her to his 1017 in 2020. She was described then as a “trap n blues” artist.
In 2021, she released the hit song ‘Track & Field’ featuring Kaliii.
Her last project with 1017, titled ‘No Luv,’ dropped in 2022. Her song ‘He Can’t Reach,’ was also featured on Issa Rae’s ‘Rap Sh!t Season 2’ soundtrack.
On Tuesday, Gucci Mane spoke out on social media about Enchanting’s death. “So sad to have to say R.I.P. to such a great young lady a true star we gone all miss you Chant.”
