Rapper Juice Wrld has reportedly died after suffering a seizure at Chicago's Midway Airport early Sunday morning.
The rapper, who was born Jarad Anthony Higgins, had turned 21 less than a week before the shocking news and won Top New Artist at the Billboard Music Awards in May.
Higgins enjoyed a meteoric rise within the last year after hits like "Lucid Dreams" and "All Girls Are The Same" climbed the charts in Summer 2018 before being signed to Interscope Records and collaborating with some of the music's biggest names like Lil Yachty and Travis Scott.
While the investigation into his death is ongoing, some of the rapper's fellow celebrities took to Twitter to express their grief over the loss.
Singer Ellie Goulding
Goulding had collaborated with the rapper on her song "Hate Me," which was released in June 2019.
