Rich Homie Quan’s death has been officially classified as accidental, as confirmed by the Fulton County Medical Examiner.
The report, obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, October 1, revealed that the “Type of Way” rapper passed away due to a toxic combination of fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, and promethazine.
Additionally, the report indicated there were no signs of physical trauma.
Rich Homie Quan points his finger at Birdman for the infamous 2015 massive leak where hundreds of his collaborations with Young Thug were leaked during the Rich Gang days.
Per Quan, Birdman failed to pay the studio where they recorded the music and in reprisal, they leaked the records. “Birdman, please do not Druski me,” he told Duke Dennis, referring to an incident where Baby intimidated comedian Druski. “I’m telling a true story, man. Me and Thug in the studio, everyday working. We in there for three months straight. Come to find out Birdman ain’t pay the folks.
“Them folks gon’ leak every song me and Thug did the last three months, man — the people at the studio,” he added. “It was album songs on there. Me and Thug had other projects; everything didn’t get released ’cause we still got other music.”
Rich Homie Quan had stirred up the internet earlier on after he went on Instagram live flaming Roddy Ricch and accusing him of having his verse removed from DJ Drama’s song “FMFU” that features the “Letter To My Son” rapper along with Lil Wayne and Gucci mane.
Rich Homie later returned on Instagram stories revealing that he spoke to Roddy in a phone call and they sorted out their issues. “Everything is smooth we settled it like men and I want to apologize for my position at the moment and this this opportunity to show everyone that through conversations we can have solutions,” the “Lifestyle” artist shared.
In his lamentation towards Roddy, Rich Homie was bitter that nobody called him to inform that his verse didn’t make it to the final cut of the song. “This what I was expecting to hear,” Rich Homie said. “Even if you ain’t want me on the song, man somebody could’ve called my phone.” He continued that he has a better music catalog than Roddy.
“Nothing against Gucci Mane, ’cause I love Gucci,” he added. “Bro, wouldn’t nobody on that song when it was sent to me.”
Roddy fired his own shots targeted at Rich Homie. “You too old for this internet sh*t but I ain’t even know u was on the phone,” he wrote IG stories. “I sent Drama the hook and let them do the rest. Aint never been no n*gga to stop nobody from eating especially a n*gga ion even know. Im around tho champ.”
Rich Homie Quan reveals he has changed his songwriting approach since Young Thug, Gunna and 28 other YSL members were indicted in a RICO case. Speaking during an interview on Sway’s Universe, Quan added that his kids are the main reason he rethinks his lyrics these days.
The authorities have been using lyrics from YSL rappers as evidence in the RICO case. Lyrics are being taken from songs like “Anybody,” “Take it to Trial,” “Ski” with Gunna and “Slatty.”
“Well, for one I really feel that we should protect Black art,” Quan began. “Music is music. A lot of those songs are made from the third person anyway. I could have saw it, you could have saw it, and I also wanna say free Thugger man. Free YFN Lucci too. ‘Cause at the same time man those guys still got families. They got daughters and mothers that depend on them so I wouldn’t want nobody in them situation.”
He added: “But I stay away from it. I watch what I say like I said earlier. My kids are getting older they can google me … so I care about what I’m saying in these songs, ’cause I know they’re listening and they gonna be, ‘My daddy Rich Homie, listen to what he said,’ so I don’t want them songs shoot ’em up bang bang.”
“Everything don’t gotta be shoot ’em up bang bang,” Quan continued. “You make ’em shoot ’em up bang bang then you put a target on your back before you made a RICO. Man so let’s get back to Hip Hop music.”
Rich Homie Quan recently linked up with DJ Akademiks on his Off The Record Podcast where he was asked which rapper outside of Atlanta he’d like to work with.
Quan quickly brought up Kodak Black, whom he called “so dope” and that they would make “harder than ever” music together.
Kodak Black later responded that he’s ready to work with the “Flex” rapper, writing on Instagram story, “Now u kno we gotta make this happen.”
“I already know this on the back of my mind they’re gonna think I’m crazy,” Rich Homie Quan told Akademiks during their interview. “Hardest n-gga outside of Atlanta, the most talented of this younger generation: Kodak Black.”
He added, “This n-gga so dope man. He probably don’t even fuck with me man. Cause we be DMing and stuff, but I ain’t gonna lie as far as like different flows, versatility, that n-gga hard, boy. Listen when I’m telling you, like, me and Yak get in there. I think that shit would be harder than ever. It gonna happen in the future but..no young n-gga ain’t fucking with Yak man. Million dollars on Yak.”
