Epic Records has now issued a statement on Lil Loaded's death, reading, "Epic Records is deeply saddened and devasted by the untimely death of rising hip-hop star, Dashawn ‘Lil Loaded’ Robertson. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans."

There's yet to be an announcement regarding Loaded's official cause of death as Cedar Hill Police continue their investigation. The rapper's attorney suggested that his passing was a result of suicide. His lawyer's statement came after one of Loaded's friends said that he died from suicide.

Loaded was poised to become the next biggest rapper out of Dallas. The rapper amassed a wide fanbase from singles like, "Gang Unit" and "6locc 6a6y" which also served as the title of his 2019 mixtape. In 2020, he released his debut album, A Demon In 6lue as well as CRIPTAPE a few months later.
