“I can regrettably confirm Chynna passed away,” a statement from her manager said, according to the publication. “Chynna was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.” A cause of death was not revealed. Chynna had previously opened up about her struggles with opiate addiction. “I felt crazy. I didn’t want to be a statistic. I didn’t want to go out that way and people be like: ‘I told you so,” or glamorize it [drugs], because I don’t feel like that,” Chynna told Vibe back in 2017. “It was nerve-wracking to be open, but when you see how many more people who are dealing with the same thing, it’s good to have some kind of example of someone you didn’t expect to be going through it.”
Chynna signed to Ford Models when she was 14 and shared her singles “Selfie” and “Glen Coco” in 2013 and 2014. She released her in case i die first EP at the end of last year.

Rest in Peace Chynna 😔

I’ve never lost a girlfriend before bro. Chynna use to spend the night over my crib, I used to be over hers. I’d go out my way to see her in NYC, and she’d do the same whenever she was in LA. This is way too fuckin much. Over a decade in man love you Chizz 🕊
