Tragic Loss: Rising Rapper Enchanting Passes Away After Battle with Addiction
In a devastating turn of events, rising rapper Enchanting—whose real name was Channing Nicole Larry—has died after being taken off life support. The 26-year-old artist had been in intensive care following a drug overdose as she struggled to overcome her addiction.
Enchanting, who was signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 label in 2020, had been making waves in the music industry with her unique “Trap-n-Blues” style. At the time of her passing, she had amassed 124,849 monthly listeners on Spotify, with her most popular track, “No Luv (Feat. Bigg Scarr, Jey Glock),” reaching 6,797,113 listens. Additionally, Enchanting was active on OnlyFans, where she continued to create content until her death.
Her final Instagram post, dated June 5, showcased her enthusiasm for upcoming projects, with the caption urging followers to subscribe to her OnlyFans account and expressing excitement for new video content. However, the comments section has since been turned off, reflecting the somber mood surrounding her passing. She had accumulated 1 million followers on the platform.
A representative from her management team confirmed the news of her death on Tuesday evening, revealing that Larry had been experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. The representative shared with The Shade Room: “She came to my house the last four days to get clean. She tried her best and I did everything I could to help her, she tried.”
Speculation about her death began circulating on Monday, June 10, and was confirmed the following day. Tributes from the music community poured in across social media, honoring the young artist’s memory and impact.
Gucci Mane expressed his sorrow on Instagram, writing: “So sad to have to say R.I.P to such a great young lady a true star we gone all miss you Chant.” Fellow artist Lil CJ Casino also took to Instagram to mourn the loss, sharing heartfelt reflections on their time together and the significant contributions Enchanting made to their music community.
According to Larry’s profile on The New 1017’s website, she embarked on her musical journey after graduating high school in Fort Worth, Texas. She described finding her voice through relentless studio work, which helped her establish her distinct musical style. “I had to get comfortable with my voice,” Larry said. “Staying in the studio and constantly recording, it helps me find the style I can be good at.”
Her music, defined as “Trap-n-Blues,” was a means of personal expression and connection with her audience. She hoped her songs could offer solace and understanding to her listeners, reflecting on her belief that music should be a natural talent rather than something forced.
In addition to her work on Gucci Mane’s 2020 mixtape “So Icy Summer,” Larry was also featured in a 2023 profile by the Dallas Observer, where she spoke about her deep-seated passion for music and her early experiences in church choir. She was working with producer J White at the time of her death, known for his collaborations with Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Gucci Mane.
The music world has lost a promising talent in Enchanting, whose rise was marked by both creative success and personal struggle. Her passing is a stark reminder of the challenges many artists face behind the scenes, and the impact their loss can have on the community.
