He also claimed he “got word” that Quan died from an overdose.
Quan’s official cause of death, however, has not yet been revealed. He was 33.
The Atlanta-born musician — whose real name was Dequantes Devontay Lamar — struggled with substance abuse in the past and was charged with felony drug possession with the intent to distribute in 2017.
However, the case was dismissed in 2019 due to a lack of evidence, as reported by TMZ at the time.

Quan’s career kicked off in 2013 with the release of “Some Type of Way,” which reached No. 57 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“It happened so fast, but I’m very thankful,” he told Billboard in September 2013.
“It’s making me more focused and showing me that people are really paying attention.”
His highest-ranking hit was 2015’s “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)”, which peaked on the Billboard Charts at No. 26.
