Rapper Juice Wrld has died at the age of 21 after suffering a seizure, it has been reported.
The American rapper, who has worked with the likes of Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott, is said to have suffered a seizure at Chicago’s Midway airport on Sunday morning shortly after arriving at the airport on a flight from California.
According to TMZ, police sources said the rapper had suffered the seizure while walking through the airport and was bleeding from the mouth when paramedics arrived.
Juice, real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, was still conscious when he was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.
The cause of death is not yet known.
He had just celebrated his 21st birthday on Monday (2 December). His last Instagram post boasted of his plans for week-long celebrations, as he wrote: ‘Yesterday was my actual bday im celebrating all week doe 999 s**t [sic].’
Juice Wrld rose to prominence in 2018 with his hit song Lucid Dreams, which peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. His song All Girls Are The Same, was remixed by Lil Uzi Vert and drew the attention of Interscope Records, who then signed him to a multi-million dollar contract.

As well as Travis Scott, Juice Wrld had collaborated with a range of artists including Future and Ellie Goulding.
Earlier this year, the rapper replaced Future as the guest act on Nicki Minaj’s European tour which spanned 19 dates.
