September 2024 · 3 minute read

According to the Dallas County medical examiner, rapper Lil Loaded, whose real name is Dashawn Robertson, died on Monday.

The medical examiner has not determined the manner and cause of his death of the 20-year-old rapper; however, suicide is suspected.

Robertson is best known for his 2019 hit song 6locc 6a6y which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America last week.

Lil Loaded friend and music collaborator EBK Cyraq said the rapper committed suicide over his girlfriend in a series of social media posts.

Robertson had an admonishment hearing scheduled the day after his death. His lawyer told Dallas News that the court appearance was not “weighing on his client.”

The rapper was facing manslaughter charges for the fatal shooting of his best friend, Khalil Walker.

He reportedly shot his friend in the stomach with a rifle and then drove him to the hospital, where he died from the gunshot wound.

Robertson initially faced a murder charge but got indicted on the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Lil Loaded claimed on social media that he was innocent after turning himself in to the authorities 15 days after the shooting.

His attorney added that there was “no malice” in the shooting, reportedly recorded on the rapper’s phone.
