Rapper Lil Loaded has died at the age of 20, just months after he was arrested for a fatal shooting, according to reports.
The musician, whose real name was Dashawn Maurice Robertson, reportedly died on Sunday night.
The star – best known for his songs 6locc 6a6y and Link Up – has been the subject of countless tributes from fans, with many refusing to believe he has died.
One person said: “What the actual f*** man RIP bruh.”
Another said: “Damn WTF I thought he was in jail for the accidental murder of his bro.”
Loaded was arrested back in October 2020 on suspicion of murder, after shooting and killing his 18-year-old friend Khalil Walker with a rifle, in an incident in Texas.

He was charged in March 2021 with one count of manslaughter after the teen died, as a Dallas grand jury decided there was enough evidence to charge him with causing the death.
On the afternoon of October 25, 2020 police were called to the victim’s Dallas home.
He had been shot in the chest and later died from his injuries after being rushed to the Methodist Charlton Medical Center.
His sister Khija ran outside of the home where the shooting happened and saw Walker “lying on the street with a gunshot wound to his torso”.
Khija reportedly “picked up [Lil Loaded’s] phone and saw a video taken on the phone showing the suspect shoot the complainant”, according to the affidavit.
Following the shooting, Loaded thanked fans for their support and paid tribute to his friend.
