The Chicago rapper Juice WRLD has died age 21, the Illinois Cook County medical examiner’s office has confirmed.

The Chicago rapper was taken ill at the city’s Midway airport on Sunday morning local time

After landing at Chicago’s Midway airport on Sunday morning local time, the musician, real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, suffered a seizure and began bleeding from the mouth, TMZ reports.

He was conscious when taken to hospital, but died a short time later. The cause of death is not yet known.

Distinguished by a sound that combined emo and trap, Juice WRLD broke out in 2018 with the single Lucid Dreams. The song sampled Shape of My Heart by Sting, who called it a “beautiful interpretation.” It peaked at No two on the US Billboard singles chart – the first of 25 hits featuring the rapper to make the chart in the space of two years.

He signed to Interscope after a remix of his song All Girls Are the Same became popular. His second solo album, this year’s Death Race for Love, topped the US albums chart.

A frequent and ambitious collaborator with artists including rappers Travis Scott and Future, pop star Ellie Goulding, K-pop band BTS and emo band Panic! At the Disco, Juice WRLD was known for his prolific output. He was expected to release a new mixtape with rapper Ski Mask the Slump God this year. “I probably have over a thousand songs,” he said last month.

He was candid about his experiences of depression on social media and in his vulnerable lyrics, joining a wave of young rappers including Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd, who countered rap’s trademark machismo.

“That’s what makes you a real man, though,” he told NME this year. “You not running from how you feel? That’s what makes you one of the realest people to walk this Earth. People usually look down upon that – they say you soft.”
