Lucas Coly shared a heartwarming message to his fans before he sadly died at the age of 27.
The French-American rapper was found dead at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Wednesday (October 3) night, according to Metro.
The 27-year-old, who was born in France and immigrated to the United States at the age of 8, rose to fame on the social media platform Vine 10 years ago.
Just hours before his death, Coly took to his Instagram Story to share a touching message with fans, penning: "I love y’all," followed by an orange heart emoji.
Many of his heartbroken supporters are now paying tribute to the young star, with one user writing: "Hearing that he passed doesn’t even seem real."
"I’m so heartbroken for his family and for Amber as well. Thank you Lucas for being apart of my childhood. Forever going to miss you," they added.
Another fan said: "This is just so sad. RIP King. I have multiple songs of his on my phone."
The 'I Just Wanna' rapper's manager has expressed his heartbreak in a since-edited social media post.
"Rest in peace @iamlucascoly I love you bro. My heart is ripped in half. Wait for me up there," he previously wrote, cited US Weekly. "Being your manager was one of the reasons I stayed here. There’s a hole in my heart right now Lucas. We used to speak on our struggles all the time but smile for the fans."
"So many people hurt us again and again but we had each other. I don’t know what to do now. I’d be a hypocrite if I told you not to, and I go and do the same," he continued.
"Honestly, Lucas it hasn’t set in yet because I refuse to believe you are gone. Heart ripped to shreds. God send him back here. Please I’m broken over here #riplucascoly #checkonyourfriends," he added.
Metro reported that the manager also wrote "Pray for Amber y’all," referring to Coly’s longtime girlfriend, Amber H.
