Lucas Coly dies at age 27, manager confirms – NBC New York

Lucas Coly, a French-American rapper and social media influencer known for his song “I Just Wanna,” has died, his manager confirmed Thursday. He was 27 years old.

A cause of death was not initially given. Coly’s manager captioned an Instagram post about it #checkonyourfriends, leading to speculation that the artist may have taken his own life.

The last story Coly himself posted on Instagram simply read, “I love you all.”

Coly rose to fame on Vine more than a decade ago when he began sharing rap videos in English and French. He built a large social media following across multiple platforms and currently has over a million followers Instagram and half a million on his YouTube Page.

He gained even more attention when he started dating Instagram star Amber H in 2017. The following year they started a YouTube channel together.

Coly was born in France and moved to the United States with his family when he was 8 years old.

Fans were devastated by his death. Some expressed the hope that it was “fake news”.

“My heart hurts…I’ve loved you since elementary school!'” one Instagram user wrote.

“Rest in paradise, young king,” wrote another.

Coly’s song “I Just Wanna” has more than 15 million views on platforms such as YouTube and is considered a fan favorite. Other popular songs include “Break Ya Back” and “My Lil Shawty.”
