Fetty Wap's four-year-old daughter Lauren Maxwell has sadly died, the child's mother has confirmed.

Over the weekend, Lauren's mother, Turquoise Miami, took to Instagram to pay a touching tribute to her daughter - but did not reveal the youngster's cause of death.

Miami, who is a dancer and musician, wrote alongside a short video of her animated daughter playing in a pool: "This is my amazing, beautiful, funny, vibrant, loving, talented, smart, and hardheaded princess mermaid Aquarius."

She continued: "If you see this post scrolling by with her comment or just say to yourself 'I love you LAUREN' because they say that souls can feel your love #rip."

It is believed that Fetty Wap dedicated his performance at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami last weekend to his daughter following her passing.

The 'Trap Queen' rapper, whose real name is Willie Maxwell II, posted the words "LoLo daddy did that s*** for you last night baby girl" to his Instagram story after the show.

Fetty's family has had to contend with a great deal of tragedy recently, with the rapper also having lost his brother in October.

Twyshon Depew, 26, died after sustaining a fatal gunshot wound in New Jersey. Fetty paid tribute to him in an Instagram post featuring himself and his late brother.

He wrote: "I love you lil bro my twin ... R.I.P... I failed you bro I’m sorry. I keep calling ya phone and you won’t pick tf up and that s*** never ring 3 times now it’s straight to vm I love you lil bro I really thought I could get you out before I ever had to make a post like this lil bro like wtf."

He later took to his Instagram Stories, to request of fans that they "stop asking me am I ok."

The 30-year-old wrote at the time: "No TF I'm not Ok."
