Rich Homie Quan Atlanta Celebration of Life

Hundreds of people attended the funeral of Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan at World Changers Church International in College Park. The rapper, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, died at age 34.

ATLANTA – Rapper Rich Homie Quan died of an accidental drug overdose, the Georgia medical examiner’s office confirmed.

The cause of death of the 34-year-old hip-hop artist, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, was due to a multitude of drugs including fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine and promethazine, according to a report from the county medical examiner of Fulton.

The report said Quan showed no signs of trauma when his body was found. His death was ruled accidental.

His brother told police he thought Quan was sleeping on the floor near the kitchen before picking the rapper up and putting him on the couch, saying it was “very unusual” to see food still in his mouth.

Later that morning, police were called by a woman who noticed Quan’s body was cold and not breathing.

Death of Rich Homie Quan, call to 911

Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan died Thursday. The 911 call made by his girlfriend has been released.

Quan, 33, who died in an Atlanta hospital on September 5, was one of the biggest names in hip-hop in the mid-2010s. He gained mainstream fame through the trap singles “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” and “Type of Way”, which became such a hit that several other rappers jumped on the remix, including Jeezy and Meek Mill.

Quan appeared on a YG track with Jeezy and released the London-produced song “Lifestyle” on da Track through his rap collective Rich Gang which included Young Thug and Birdman.

Quan followed up with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” a song produced by DJ Spinz and Nitti Beatz. It became his highest-charting solo single at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He was also featured on Lil Dicky’s viral show “$Save Dat Money”.

In 2018, Quan released his first and only studio album “Rich as in Spirit”, which contained virtually no features except for “Think About It”, a single with Rick Ross.

Hundreds of people gathered at the rapper’s funeral in September to pay their respects and remember his legacy. Quan has been praised for his humility and grace, with tributes from fellow artists like Killer Mike and strong support from his local community.

“He was an example of grace and he didn’t let his ego stop him from being a good man,” said rapper Michael “Killer Mike” Render.

Quan is survived by his five children, his father and his girlfriend.
