Early life

Channing Nicole Larry was born in Hanau, Germany to American parents, and spent her early years in Fort Worth, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia.[5][6]

Career

edit

Larry began her music career in her late teens, performing in a church choir and being a cheerleader in high school. After graduation, she worked as a hairstylist and nail technician before pursuing a career in hip-hop and releasing music online.[7][8] On March 11, 2019, Enchanting was featured on Boogotti Kasino's single "Monday", which serves as her debut single.[9] The song earned her recognition, which led to her signing a recording deal with Gucci Mane's 1017 Records, in 2020,[10] and subsequently released several singles and projects, including "No Luv" (2020)[11] and Luv Scarred (2023).[12] On February 24, 2023, she released the single "Tell Me Why" featuring Layton Greene,[13] and was featured on Raedio's song "He Can't Reach" alongside Maiya the Don in October.[14][15]

Death

edit

On June 10, 2024, Larry was rushed to the intensive care unit and was reported to be in critical condition following a heart attack, possibly caused by a drug overdose. After false reports of her death circulated on social media, her sister, Kayy Jayy, clarified in a public post that her sister was alive, saying, "Please ignore the false reports. My sister is fine."[16] However, at 2:26 a.m. on June 11, Larry was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas,[17] after being removed from life support due to complications from an alleged overdose. She was 26.[18] Her management team confirmed her death, and soon after tributes poured in from fellow artists and fans.[19][20]
