Seizure and Blood from Mouth: US Rapper Juice Wrld Dies at 21
The young artist fell ill at the airport.
After an incident at Chicago Midway International Airport, young American rapper Juice Wrld died. The artist's death on Sunday, December 8, was reported by the tabloid TMZ.
According to the outlet, Juice Wrld, whose real name is Jared Higgins, died after some kind of seizure. The rapper's plane from California landed in Chicago this morning, after which Higgins fell ill at the airport.
Law enforcement sources say that blood was coming from his mouth. The artist was conscious when he was taken to the hospital, but died shortly afterward.
The cause of death is not yet known.
The rapper's birthday was December 2 — he turned 21. On his Instagram page, the artist wrote that he planned to celebrate all week.
Juice Wrld was born in 1998 in Chicago, grew up under the influence of Chief Keef and the local drill scene, and used drugs. He released his first track on SoundCloud in 2015 under the name JuicetheKidd. In early 2018, the artist was noticed by the major label Interscope Records and signed a contract with it.
That same year, Juice Wrld shot to the top of the charts with his hit “Lucid Dreams,” followed by the track “All Girls Are the Same.”
Over his career, the rapper released 2 mixtapes, 2 studio albums and 12 singles. His debut album “Goodbye & Good Riddance” (2018) reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 weekly chart, and the next, “Death Race for Love” (2019), topped the chart.
At the 2019 Billboard awards, the 20-year-old Higgins received an award in the “Best New Artist” category.
In one of his tracks, “Legends,” Juice Wrld spoke about the deaths of other popular rappers — Lil Peep and XXXTentacion, who also died at a young age — at 21 and 20. The song contains the line: “What's Club 27? We won't survive 21.”
Condolences over the death of the young rapper have already been expressed by Lil Nas X, Juicy J, Action Bronson and other artists.
Earlier, DMX canceled all his concerts and entered a rehab center.
