In an interview with Vibe, Chynna talked about her addiction, saying, “I felt crazy. I didn’t want to be a statistic. I didn’t want to go out that way, and people be like, ‘I told you so,’ or glamorize it [drugs] because I don’t feel like that”. Going on to share how difficult it is to open up about addiction by adding
“It was nerve-wracking to be open, but when you see how many more people are dealing with the same thing, it’s good to have some kind of example of someone you didn’t expect to be going through it.”
No cause of death has been confirmed yet, and with the coronavirus epidemic taking so many lives, no assumptions can be made. However, no matter the cause of death, such a young artist losing their life is truly a tragedy.
