Known for his rise to fame on social media platforms like Vine and later YouTube, the rapper was revealed to have taken his own life at the age of 27.

If you don't want the help by now, if you don't got the help by now, you don't want the help."
The profound impact of Lucas's death has been felt not just by his inner circle but also by the broader community of fans who took to social media to share their condolences and memories. In a bid to manage the overwhelming influx, both Amber and Coly's manager have had to disable or limit comments on their posts.
