Juice WRLD has died aged 21

Reports say that the rapper passed away following a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport

Juice WRLD has passed away at just 21, following a reported seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport.

According to a TMZ report, the Chicago rapper (real name Jarad Anthony Higgins) was still conscious when he was rushed to hospital, but was declared dead a short time later. The cause of death is currently unclear.

As tributes from fans suggest, Juice experienced a rise to fame in the last year or so, after featuring on Travis Scott’s acclaimed album, Astroworld, and touring with Nicki Minaj.

Death Race For Love, his second studio album, released in March 2019, debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 charts.

Last year, he also put out a two-track EP titled Too Soon, in tribute to XXXTentacion and Lil Peep.
