Rapper Juice Wrld died this weekend at the age of 21 after suffering a seizure, it has been reported.

Sadly it comes after his famous song Legends – which is featured on his 2018 Too Soon EP, released in remembrance of the late Lil Peep and XXXTentacion – had him rapping about not ‘making it past 21’.

In the song, he said: ‘What’s the 27 Club? We ain’t making it past 21/ I been going through paranoia, so I always gotta keep a gun.

‘Damn, that’s the world we live in now/ Yeah, hold on, just hear me out/ They tell me I’mma be a legend/ I don’t want that title now ’cause all the legends seem to die out.’

The Lucid Dreams musician tragically died of a seizure at Chicago’s Midway airport on Sunday morning after arriving at the airport on a flight from California.

According to TMZ, the rapper had suffered the seizure while walking through the airport and was bleeding from the mouth when paramedics arrived.

Juice, real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, was still conscious when he was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.
