Chynna Rogers‘ cause of death has been released.
The rapper and model sadly passed away at age 25 at her home in Philadelphia on Wednesday (April 8).
It is now being reported that Chynna died of an accidental drug overdose, according to James Garrow, a spokesman for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (via NBC News).
In a 2018 interview with Pitchfork, Chynna talked about her music career, her battle with drug addiction, and the death of her mother.
“My mom would be really tight with me if I used her as an excuse to fall off,” Chynna said. “It’s just more reason to work and get this s— done.”
Chynna added that she used to not believe that she was worthy of success because she “hadn’t gone through enough terrible stuff.”
“I didn’t feel like I deserved to be making a living off talking about my life yet because I just couldn’t relate to enough people,” she explained. “It wasn’t just the drug-addict thing, but also all the behaviors that come with it, all the situations you end up in, and the people you end up around just living that life. Now I feel like I’ve been through enough s—. Now I feel like I can actually talk to y’all about something.”
Chynna‘s death comes just four months after she released her EP If I Die First.
Our thoughts continue to be with Chynna Rogers‘ loved ones during this difficult time.
