industry or one of your friends a family member oh family it's family also back in May 2014 Rich Homie Quan was back in his hometown of Atlanta shooting the music video for his single walk through with LA rapper problem everything seemed to be going fine until hours later TMZ started reporting that Quan had suffered two seizures on set and even hit his head during the fall it definitely had everyone freaking out for a minute and there was talk of quan suffering a seizure due to his rumored use of lean drinking lean has been associated ated
with an increased risk of seizures and there have been several notable cases of rappers suffering seizures after long-term lean use the most famous case of course being Lil Wayne who was hospitalized back in 2016 for a seizure after reportedly drinking massive amounts of lean but following Rich homi Quan's hospitalization he was quick to clear the air and he sent a statement to billboard basically shutting down the seizure rumors and saying he didn't have a seizure but actually fainted and hit his head he also firmly denied denied that the whole situation had anything to do with
substance use Quan said in a statement I just want to thank my fans and everyone who has called concerned about me he said I want to clear up two things after being in three states in 3 days up early having to shoot my video for walkr and even sleeping in between scenes on top of filming in this humid Atlanta heat I fainted and hit my head it's no secret I do turn up I don't deny that but I'm not addicted to anything including nor was I leaning at the shoot the media is going to put
fake stories out there but I just want to let my fans know that I'm I'm good and recovering the second thing is I promise I will never stop going in and I mean that now to give you a quick rundown in case you're not super familiar with Rich Homie Kwan's rise to fame K Quan was born and raised in Atlanta and before rapping he actually had dreams of playing pro baseball he even went to Fort Valley State University but ended up dropping out due to money issues he started rapping back in 2011 but his real
breakthrough came in 2013 with his hit type of way you probably also remember his 2015 Banger Flex o ooh everyone was vibing to that one Quan racked up a bunch of nominations at the BET hip-hop Awards in 2014 and 2015 including Best New Artist and best Club Banger Plus in 2016 he was even up for hip-hop song of the year at the iHeart Radio Music Awards he also teamed up with young thug for Cash Money Records Rich Gang project and had some fire collabs with big names like two chains and jacquis now how you handling
all the success you know it's a lot of success coming your way right now a lot of hard work and gred you know so it's all definitely all ping off you on the Green carpet right now to put on for Atlanta how does it all feel feel good man keeping God first at all time never forget where I come from being grateful man you know what I'm saying taking every moment serious every moment taking it but later in 2016 Quan got into some problems with his former label think it's a game and he sued them
for $2 million for unpaid royalties the label then counter sued him for breach of contract and both suits were eventually settled out of court but due to the litigation process Quan wasn't allowed to put out new music for 2 and 1/2 years meanwhile Quan also got into trouble with the law over substance possession and on May 28th 2017 he was arrested with four others on felony charges after being stopped at a checkpoint on Highway 1 in Louisville Georgia police claimed to have recovered heroin weed substance paraphernalia and weapons from the vehicle Quan was charged with
felony substance possession with an intent to distribute but Quan never gave up on his career and in October 202 2 he released the EP family and Moola which included the single crazy and one guest appearance from noap at the time Quan said it felt good to have a project out after not releasing anything in over 3 years and he seemed excited to get back to making music he also planned to take a different direction and focus on spreading a more positive message through his music he told all hip hop in 2022 I feel like if
we stop rapping about gun it won't be as much gence I feel like the music plays a big part in cultural activities for example if I'm rapping about nothing but gun VI music I know at my shows it's liable to be a fight or some in the vicinity so I try to just practice what I preach I know we are all going through everyday problems and I just try to be relatable to the everyday person everybody don't have a gun but I know everybody is going through something so I just try to keep my music
relatable to the people and when I say change the narrative I want you to feel it before you can hear it it's more like motivational inspirational hustling it's motivating it's to get you up and go out to do the right thing when you hear this kind of music I don't want you to go get no guns go buy a house or something don't go buy no jewelry just like giving the youth new game like I said I'm older now so I see things totally different and Quan was actually set to perform on September 19th alongside
Nick Cannon waca Flaka Lil booy and others and it's just so sad thinking how close he was to making a comeback what's even more heartbreaking is that he leaves behind five children four sons and a daughter his children include 16-year-old Devon and 8-year-old cosen from previous relationships as well as his daughter Elena he welcomed his two other children with his long time girlfriend Amber Williams their first son Royal Rich was born on April 19th 2014 and on January 11th 2021 they welcomed another baby boy named leer leonis Rich Homie Quan's sudden passing has already shaken
