Rapper Juice WRLD dies after medical emergency in Chicago

CHICAGO (AP) - Rapper Juice WRLD, who launched his career on SoundCloud before becoming a streaming juggernaut and rose to the top of the charts with the Sting-sampled hit “Lucid Dreams,” died early Sunday after a “medical emergency” at Chicago’s Midway International Airport.

The rapper, whose legal name was Jarad A. Higgins, was 21. Authorities have not released details about his cause of death.

He was pronounced dead at a hospital around 3:15 a.m. and taken to the Cook County medical examiner’s office several hours later, according to office spokeswoman Natalia Derevyanny, who said an autopsy would take place Monday.

Chicago police launched a death investigation after a 21-year-old male experiencing a “medical emergency” was transported from Midway to an area hospital. Police said there were no signs of foul play and those aboard the aircraft were cooperating with authorities. Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said the man experienced cardiac arrest and was taken to a hospital from a hangar operated by Atlantic Aviation at Midway, away from the main terminal, where private planes land. Atlantic didn’t return a message Sunday.

The rapper, who was named top new artist at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards in May, lived in the Chicago suburb of Homewood where he stood out as a musician early on.

Juice WRLD turned 21 only days earlier. He was only two years out of high school.

... He had some amazing work that never made it too high on the charts
He was a balladeer, the songs are too long

I found myself at an event this last summer where a young English man(?) in a negligee going by the name Yungblud told a story about refusing to take meds for his behavior problems. He proceeded to entertain us by running to one side of the stage and do a jumping spin to show his butt in the camera and then back and forth to each end of the stage doing the spinning butt maneuver. When he arrived at the middle of the stage he jumped up and down and yelled, "Faaaaahhhhhhhhk".

If it has one monotone word, is that a "song" or is that rap? I don't know but apparently this was his big hit. I do know that his meds should have been court ordered.

The sequel is interesting as well when he visits Sue after he had become a singer.

Oh if a man tried to take his time on earth,
and prove before he died what one man’s life could be worth,
I wonder what would happen to this world

worthless mindless crap for music. How in the hell a race that gave the world WC Handy, Nat King Cole, Billie Holliday, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, OJays, Supremes, be stuck on stupid for over 4 decades on this mindless waste of “music” is just proof of the decline of western civilization. Another throw away ghetto trash. Musical talent akin to a used condom. Next gold tooth Dr. Suess wannabe?

unsubstantiated rumour. Alot of CYA by the pilots and Charter service. Cabin heater most likely the cause.

Juice WRLD “Black and White”

Almost 88 million views.

That's a very sad song about being trapped in a drug-fueled nightmare. I wonder if he overdosed.

Never heard of him. Of course, I try not to hear any Rapper at all.

Dittos to that. Rap/hip hop is among the most horrific sounds (it's NOT "music") on earth, IMO. With extremely rare exceptions.

They didn’t like that white people liked their music so they came up with rap. And wouldn’t you know, the white kids liked that, too.
