Gucci Mane confirms death of former protegee rapper Enchanting at 26 due to overdose

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gucci Mane is mourning the death of his former protegee, rapper Enchanting, aged just 26.

The 1017 Records founder took to his Instagram on Tuesday, June 11, to share the news of the tragic passing of the ‘Luv Scarred/No Luv’ rapper (whose real name was Channing Nicole Larry), 

Gucci Mane, born Radric Delantic Davis, confirmed the news on social media, writing, "So sad to have to say RIP to such a great young lady a true star we gone all miss you Chant 😢 💔.”

How did Enchanting die?

While false reports of Larry’s death circulated since Monday, the tragic news was confirmed only on Tuesday. 

TMZ reported that the young musician died shortly after she was taken off of life support after she fell unconscious the day before. 

A representative of her management team revealed the cause of her death to The Shade Room, saying the rapper was suffering from withdrawals and had overdosed, per People. They shared, “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.”

Colleagues mourn death of Enchanting

The late rapper was born in Germany but spent most of her life in Texas. The Trap-n-Blues singer signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records in 2020 and appeared on three of their compilation albums before leaving the record in 2023. 

During her stint with the record label, she collaborated with the company’s top stars like Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano and the late Big Scarr (who was also her best friend), who died in December, 2022.

Some of the popular discographies credited to Larry include songs like ‘Track & Field’, ‘No Luv’, ‘Issa Photoshoot’, and ‘Nina Ross’ among others. 

Earlier, Lil CJ Kasino, an artist manager based in Fort Worth confirmed the news of her family pulling her off of life support. 

Shortly after, several other hip-hop artists like Erica Banks, Lakeyah, Omeretta, and Gloss Up paid heartfelt tributes to the late singer. 

After an online murmur regarding Gucci Mane’s artists running into trouble or meeting unfortunate ends, his wife Keyshia jumped onto the bandwagon to defend her husband. 

She wrote, “Leave my husband alone! He signs these artists to help them & give them a better life! I wish it wasn’t like this! Chant we love you, baby girl! RIH 😓.”

Rest in eternal peace, Enchanting.
