Atlanta rapper Trouble has died at the age of 34.
His label Def Jam announced the news in a statement, paying tribute to the late star, who was also known as Skoob.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with the children, loved ones, and fans of Trouble,’ they wrote.
‘A true voice for his city and an inspiration to the community he proudly represented. RIP Skoob??’.
A cause of death has not been confirmed but that the musician – real name Mariel Semonte Orr – was involved in a fatal shooting incident in Atlanta on Saturday night.
Trouble, who started rapping at the age of 14, released his debut album, Edgewood, in 2018. It featured guest appearances from Boosie Badazz, Drake, Fetty Wap, Lil 1, Low Down Dirty Black, Quavo and The Weeknd.
