Lil Poppa has passed away at the age of 25.
On Wednesday (Feb. 18), reports began to circulate that the Jacksonville, Fla. native died. XXL has since confirmed with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office in Georgia that Poppa, born Janarious Mykel Wheeler, passed away this morning around 11 a.m. Despite speculation online that the death may have been the result of a suicide, the cause of death has not been announced.
XXL has reached out to Lil Poppa's team and CMG for comment.
After making a name for himself in the late 2010s for his Under Investigation mixtape series and the projects Almost Normal and Evergreen Wildchild 2, Poppa signed to Yo Gotti's CMG record label in 2022. He released two projects under the label, including Heavy Is the Head and Under Investigation 3. On Feb. 13, he put out his most recent single, "Out of Town Bae."
