On Thursday, popular Atlanta rapper, Boosie Badazz tweeted, "JUST GOT WORD @RichHomieQuan JUST OD."

The Wipe Me Down rapper continued, "JUST TALK TO WUAN THE OTHER DAY."

The podcast No Jumper reshared Boosie's tweet as fans flooded the comment section with heartfelt condolences for the rapper.

R&B singer Jacquees, a frequent collaborator of Rich Home Quan's, tweeted condolences, writing "Rest in Peace my brother Rich Homie Quan.

"I love you for Life. #Richgang."

Rich Homie Quan began his career in 2011 but first received mainstream success with his 2013 single Type of Way, which peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Alongside fellow Atlanta rapper Young Thug, Quan was a member of Cash Money Records' spin-off project Rich Gang, who found early success with their 2014 single, Lifestyle.

They also collaborated that same year on the club hit, Tell Em, and in 2015 with the song Up, Up & Away.

On Tuesday, Rich Homie Quan was mentioned during Young Thug's ongoing criminal trial.

The Gang Up rapper is currently facing jail time for violating Georgia's RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) law and committing multiple violent crimes.

While on the witness stand, rapper YSL Woody attempted to ask Young Thug if he had beef with Quan.

Young Thug reportedly laughed in response.

Recently, Quan went on several podcasts, including No Jumper and VladTV, where he detailed the fallout of the Rich Gang group and his relationship with Young Thug.

He admitted, while still remaining coy about the allegations toward his former groupmate, that Young Thug's involvement in street activity was more prevalent than what he preferred.

"S**t was gettin’ a lil’ too street from me," he told host Adam Grandmaison, commonly known as Adam22, during his appearance on No Jumper.

“I wasn’t raised certain ways - certain s**t that don’t even go with my morals, as a man," Quan added.

Quan has four sons, including his oldest, Devin, who was born in 2006.

The rapper didn’t know about Devin until five years after his son's birth.

The Rich Homie Quan's final social media post was shared on Tuesday, September 3.

The Instagram photos, captioned, "Vision clear even through the BS," showed the Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh) artist preparing for and later performing at a concert.
