Rapper Enchanting died as a result of an accidental overdose of prescription medications, authorities say.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner's office said that the music artist, who passed away at age 26 June 11, overdosed on a combination of the opioid painkiller Oxycodone and benzodiazepines, or depressant drugs that include medications such as Valium and Xanax, TMZ reported Aug. 23.
The office noted in its autopsy report that Enchanting, whose real name is Channing Nicole Larry, died at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.
Enchanting was born in Germany, where her dad was stationed with the U.S. Army. She was mostly raised in Atlanta and spent her teen years in Fort Worth, Texas. She began her music career at age 18 after graduating from high school. In 2020, she signed to Gucci Mane's 1017 Records and went on to release two full-length albums—2022's No Luv and 2023's Luv Scarred / No Luv.
"So sad to have to say R.I.P to such a great young lady," Gucci wrote on Instagram after her death, "a true star we gone all miss you Chant."
She also collaborated on music with Boogotti Kasino, who shared his grief after her passing.
"RIH LIL SISTER @luvenchanting," he wrote on Instagram on the day she died. "WASNT TRYNA GET NO NEWS LIKE THIS. NOTHIN N THIS LIFE NEVER BROKE YOUR NURTURING SPIRIT. MY FRIEND, SISTER, GODMOTHER TO MY KIDS, AND A KIND LIVING PERSON IN GENERAL. YOUR ESSENCE BROUGHT ALOT INTO MY LIFE , SHOWING ME THAT LOVE IN LIFE IS REAL."
A year before her death, Enchanting had spoken out about the devastating risks of drug use, sharing that she lost a friend who had overdosed
"I understand that people do whatever they do," she said on the Cigar Talk podcast in 2023, "if they feel like they're going through pain or they just going through something, they want to feel better. But it's a big risk. Like, you could take one pill and literally die like, immediately."
