Rumors of her death started circulating online Monday, June 10. Following the confirmation of her death on Tuesday, tributes began pouring in from loved ones via social media. Prior to her death, Enchanting was signed to his 1017 Records label in 2020, per New York’s Hot 97 radio station. “She appeared on 3 compilation albums before she left the label in 2023,” they added.
The rising star allegedly passed away after being removed from life support at a hospital. According to a statement given to The Shade Room by a representative from her management team, the 26-year-old was experiencing withdrawal symptoms and had overdosed. “She stayed at my house for the last four days in an effort to get clean. She gave it her all, and I did everything I could to support her. She truly tried,” the representative shared with the outlet.
According to her 1017 Records profile, which was still active on the label’s website at the time, Enchanting “began to pursue music around the age of 18,” and started focusing on her craft after her high school graduation.
The rapper spoke about having to find her style after previously thinking she sounded like “a little baby” earlier in her career.

“I had to get comfortable with my voice,” she said, per 1017’s website. “Staying in the studio and constantly recording, it helps me find the style I can be good at.” Further elaborating on her style, she said, “It’s like Trap-n-Blues.” “Other people can relate to the things I say. I might help somebody through any situation, they can listen to me and find peace,” the rapper continued.
In a 2021 interview, she explained that she was an “army brat” who was born in Germany, and called Forth Worth, Texas, her home after also living in Atlanta until the fifth grade.
Luv Scarred/No Luv was her last studio album.
Other accolades include her song "He Can't Reach" being featured on HBO's Rap Sh!t season 2 soundtrack, iHeartRadio reported on Tuesday, citing Issa Rae's Raedio imprint.
