Rich Homie Quan’s girlfriend found his lifeless body on the couch in her Atlanta home and called 911.
The rapper’s partner was furious when she told the telephone operator on the recording, which TMZ has obtained, that he was “not breathing” and his heart was not beating.
According to the friend, Rich Homie Quan never came to bed after falling asleep on the couch Wednesday night. Before dropping her son off at school Thursday morning, she put a blanket over the artist after noticing he hadn’t moved.
She checked on him when she returned because “he hadn’t gotten up.”
“I don’t feel a heartbeat. I don’t see him breathing,” says the friend. She then reveals that the “Type of Way” rapper was “foaming at the mouth” when she turned him over.
At one point she asks the operator if she can “add his father to the conversation,” but the operator tells her, “We need to help your friend now.”
“He’s not waking up – quickly!” the friend pleads before the operator tells her that help is on the way.
The platinum-selling rapper – born Dequantes Devontay Lamar on October 4, 1990 – passed away suddenly on Thursday, September 5, the Post confirmed.
“On Thursday, September 5, 2024, the Fulton County Coroner was notified by Grady Memorial Hospital of the death of Dequantes Devontay Lamar,” the coroner said in a statement.
The cause of Rich Homie Quan’s death is unknown as the autopsy will take place on Friday.
The musician conquered the mainstream hip hop scene in 2013 with his hit “Type of Way.” The single landed on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
Throughout his career, he has collaborated with several Atlanta rappers, including 2 Chainz and Jacquees, and also worked with Young Thug on the Cash Money Records project “Rich Gang.”
Rich Homie Quan’s name was dragged into the RICO trial against Young Thug just days before his unexpected death.
As the family searches for answers, rapper Boosie Badazz claimed the musician allegedly overdosed. Autopsy results could take weeks to come back if they are delayed for further investigation.
Rich Homie Quan was 33 years old.
