Rapper Lil Loaded’s attorney confirmed Tuesday the death of the 20-year-old after rumors about his suicide flooded social media platforms.
Attorney Ashkan Mehryari did not specify how the young artist died but it comes months after he was charged with reckless murder over his best friend Khalil Walker’s death.
“Sadly, the rumors are true and Mr. Robertson did pass away today,” he said adding that the late singer “had a very bright and promising career ahead of him.”
Born Dashawn Maurice Robertson, Lil Loaded’s three albums quickly made his success; between 2019 and 2020, he released “6locc 6a6y”, “A Demon In 6lue” and “Criptape.”
One week before he passed away, he released his last song “Hard Times” echoing mental health issues he seemed to suffer.
In his last Instagram post, Lil Loaded sought “forgiveness” for “shortcomings and talked about being ready to pass.
“Dear most high, please forgive me for my shortcomings and all of the times I’ve fell short of making you proud and being appreciative of the blessings that have been put in my life,” Lil Loaded wrote.
“Sometimes, the lines are blurred between being solid and being heartless. I want to thank for how far I’ve come and the people you’ve put in my life to keep me grounded and humble through everything and I love every single one of those people that are genuinely for me.”
“I ask entrance into your kingdom thru all of my mistakes I know, and I’m ready for my heart and soul to join you.”
