She had previously been open about an opioid addiction and struggled after her music career began to take off.
While speaking to Vibe in 2017, the musician revealed that she had been sober for three years: “I felt crazy. I didn’t want to be a statistic.
“I didn’t want to go out that way and people be like, ‘I told you so,’ or glamorize it [drugs] because I don’t feel like that.
The late star signed to Ford Models aged 14
“It was nerve-wracking to be open, but when you see how many more people who are dealing with the same thing, it’s good to have some kind of example of someone you didn’t expect to be going through it.”
Rogers began her career aged 14 after signing to Ford Models before going on to work with the likes of A$AP Yams.
She shot to stardom as a musician in 2012 thanks to her hit single Selfie, followed by her 2014 hit Glen Coco.
