Tragic News: 1017 Rapper Enchanting Dies After Being Placed on Life Support
In heartbreaking news for the music community, Enchanting, a talented artist signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 record label, has passed away. The rapper, known for her unique style and captivating performances, had been fighting for her life since being placed on life support earlier this week.
A Promising Career Cut Short
Enchanting, whose real name has not been publicly disclosed, made a significant impact on the rap scene after being discovered by Gucci Mane. She was signed to his 1017 record label in 2020 at the age of 22, after already making waves with multiple independent projects. Her signing marked a major milestone in her career, leading to the release of her debut 1017 project, No Luv, in 2022. This project solidified her status as a rising star in the hip-hop world.
The Fight for Life
The distressing news first emerged from Enchanting’s sister, Kayy Jayy, who revealed on Facebook that the rapper had been placed on life support on June 10. The circumstances surrounding her condition were not made clear, leading to rampant speculation and premature reports of her death.
Kayy Jayy initially refuted these claims, stating, “Can y’all stop posting you have actual facts. She’s still fighting, she’s not dead… I’m here at the hospital. My sister is not dead.” Despite these assurances, Enchanting’s condition remained critical, and hopes for her recovery were dashed as reports confirmed her passing.
Enchanting’s Musical Legacy
Enchanting’s career was characterized by her prolific output and collaborations. Even after her debut project, she continued to release notable singles and feature on tracks with other artists. Her recent contributions included verses on Lonny Cash’s “RATCHET MONDAY,” Destiny Briona’s “Slide,” and Campaign Reezo’s 2024 single “Because of You.” She was known for her dedication to supporting other female artists, as she expressed in a 2023 interview with the Dallas Observer. “It’s looking hopeful for more and more women to just continue to blow up,” she said, reflecting on the growing prominence of women in the rap industry.
Enchanting also shared her deep passion for songwriting and how music served as a source of comfort and expression for her. “I feel like music was always something that was easy for me,” she once explained. “I felt like I was musically inclined, always. It was something that I thought should probably put more time and effort into, because it was natural, you know, instead of trying to force a talent.”
Enchanting’s death is a profound loss for her fans, peers, and the music industry. Gucci Mane, who played a pivotal role in her career, had collaborated with her on singles like “Issa Photoshoot” and “Big Chant.” His endorsement was a testament to her talent and potential.
As the music community grapples with this loss, many will remember Enchanting for her contributions to the genre and her efforts to elevate other female artists. Her legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations of musicians.
The details surrounding Enchanting’s condition and the events leading to her being placed on life support remain sparse. As more information becomes available, it will shed light on the tragic circumstances that led to the untimely death of a young and promising artist.
For now, the music world mourns the loss of Enchanting, a vibrant talent whose life and career were tragically cut short. Her music and the impact she had on those who knew her will continue to resonate. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
