Rapper Lucas Coly has reportedly died at age 27, his manager claimed in a since-deleted post Thursday.
The hip-hop artist’s manager made the claims via Instagram on Thursday with a picture of Coly smoking outdoors.
“Rest in peace @iamlucascoly I love you bro. My heart is ripped in half. Wait for me up there 🙏,” he originally captioned the post, per Us Weekly. However, he later edited the caption to only feature a heart emoji.
Coly’s I Discover Stars Entertainment manager, whose name wasn’t disclosed, also shared a second post that showed the hitmaker posing with a friend.
“Being your manager was one of the reasons I stayed here,” the talent manager captioned the post, per the outlet, before removing the caption.
“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.”
The manager emotionally revealed that his heart had been “ripped to shreds” following his client’s alleged death.
“God send him back here. Please 💔 I’m broken over here #riplucascoly #checkonyourfriends,” he concluded before he edited the posts to remove the caption.
According to Us Weekly, Coly’s longtime manager also asked fans to pray for Coly’s girlfriend, Amber, via a now-deleted Facebook post.

“Amber will confirm the news when she is ready,” the manager wrote. “Please give her time to process and heal. When the funeral arrangements are set.”
Before his alleged death, the “I Just Wanna” rapper took to his Instagram Story to write, “I love y’all,” with an orange heart emoji.
A rep for the French-born artist wasn’t immediately available to for comment and this outlet couldn’t confirm his death independently.
Several fans mourned Coly’s passing on social media, with one writing on X, “I just woke up they saying lucas coly dead (sic) let me go back to sleep and try again.”
“My heart breaks for lucas coly (sic) family, friends, and girlfriend,” a second wrote, as another added, “Heartbreaking news … gone way too soon.”
Coly was born in France but immigrated to America when he was 8 years old. He rose to fame on Vine by posting videos of himself rapping when he was around 17 years old.
