Lil Loaded died yesterday at the age of 20.
On Monday (May 31), Ashkan Mehryari, attorney for the rapper, real name Dashawn Maurice Robertson, confirmed the news to XXL this afternoon.
"Sadly, the rumors are true and Mr. Robertson did pass away today," Mehryari wrote in a statement.
The cause of Loaded’s death is unclear.
However, earlier this afternoon a screenshot of an Instagram Story post that the Texas-bred artist shared recently began circulating online.
It’s uncertain when Lil Loaded uploaded the message to his social media, but as of reporting time, it was no longer available on his page.

Unfortunately, before his death, Lil Loaded was facing a major legal hurdle. Back in March, Loaded was indicted by a grand jury on one count of manslaughter in connection with the death of Khalil Walker.
A Dallas County grand jury delivered the indictment stating there was enough evidence to charge the young rapper of recklessly causing the death of 18-year-old Walker, who was reportedly Lil Loaded’s friend.
Lil Loaded's attorney, Ashkan Mehryari, at the time, insisted that his client was innocent of the charge. “There’s obviously no malice here,” he said.
According to a police affidavit, Lil Loaded shot Walker in the torso with a rifle outside of a home in The Woods neighborhood of Dallas on Oct. 25, 2020. Both men and a witness were standing outside of the residence, according to police.
Walker's sister, who was inside at the time, reported hearing two gunshots and exiting the home to see Walker on the ground injured from the shot. In a strange twist in the case, there was reportedly a video of Lil Loaded shooting Walker on Walker's phone, according to the police.
Walker was rushed to Methodist Charlton Medical Center where he later died of his injuries. Lil Loaded surrendered to authorities 15 days after the shooting on Nov. 9, 2020. The "Rocc Dis" rapper has since maintained his innocence.
XXL has reached out to a rep for Lil Loaded for a statement.
