After news of his passing spread, celebrities from all industries shared their top memories of the artist. Former Michigan State players reflected on how his debut smash single helped power them to the top of the football mountain 10 years ago.
It was my freshman year of college and Rich Homie Quan legitimately fueled the 2013 @MSU_Football team to a Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl victory… The entire campus was singing “Type of Way” all season long. It was a beautiful time in my life.
RIP to a legend. Thanks for… https://t.co/bKGIBYlfRc

Perhaps the saddest post came from fellow Atlanta rapper Quavo who shared a picture of himself alongside Quan, Young Thug, Takeoff, and Offset.
In his post, he pointed out that Thug is locked up, that he isn’t speaking to Offset, and Rich Homie Quan and Takeoff are no longer with us.

The memories of Rich Homie Quan as a person and as an artist continued in the hours after his death. People also reflected on the music he made with Young Thug which produced some of their biggest hits.
It’s hard to tell anyone over 30 that “Lifestyle” wasn’t the greatest hit of the 2010s.
The two were members of Rich Gang alongside Birdman and Quan and Thug’s chemistry flowed on other tracks like “Flava.” The music they made together sounded like a genre of its own.
Young Thug is currently on trial but cameras spotted him moments after the news broke. Some fans believe his somber face is because he may have found out about the passing of his former collaborator.
