Rich Homie Quan's father and girlfriend speak out after the rapper's death

Rich Homie Quan's father and girlfriend have spoken out on social media about the 33-year-old rapper's sudden death on September 5.

In statements posted to Instagram Stories a few days after the star-born Dequantes Lamar's death, his father Corey Lamar and partner Amber Williams both used the word “unbearable” to describe the depth of their grief. “Unbearable pain,” Corey wrote in white lettering on a black background, according to Los Angeles Times“Lord, please, please, please help me understand this… let it be a dream.”

“Pray for me and my family,” he continued. “I feel like I'm broken into a million pieces.”

In an interview with WSB-TV, ABC's Atlanta affiliate, Corey remembered his son as a trendsetter. “I always told him there's a difference between writing songs and producing hits,” he said. “He produced hits and I know his music will live on forever.”

In her statement, Williams thanked her fans for the “overwhelming” of kind messages they sent her following Rich Homie's death, the cause of death of which has not yet been disclosed to the public. “This pain is unbearable,” she wrote, according to Complex“I am traumatized by a moment that will stay with me forever. I have nothing to prove because my love for my better half was ALWAYS visible. I had nothing to hide.”

“Please respect me and the family during this time,” she added. “Our house is no longer a home. I am completely heartbroken. 15 years have passed. I will never be the same again. This is an absolute nightmare.”

Williams has since shared a series of old photos and videos of her late boyfriend on her Story, echoing condolences from other mourners. “I pray you are strong enough to help the babies,” a friend wrote, and the Brows by Rella founder reposted it.

In addition to his friends and family, news of the Atlanta rapper's death has also rocked much of the hip-hop world. Playboi Carti, Quavo, Jacquees and Boosie Badazz were some of the names who paid their last respects to the “Flex” musician – who was the father of four sons – while sound engineer Alex Tumay tweeted that his late collaborator was “one of the kindest people I've ever worked with and a true artist.”
