Chynna Rogers and her unexpected tragic death

Chynna Rogers was just 25 and had worked with ASAP Mob. The former model is dead, her management stated. John Miller, her manager announced her death via an email on Wednesday 8 April 2020 night.

The statement from her family read:

“Chynna was deeply loved and will be sorely missed,”

John had added:

“She was an extremely inspirational and unique artist and person,”

Chynna is survived by Michael Magness, her father, and her two brothers, Jeremy Payne and Michael Magness, and also a sister named Nala Magness. Her mother, Wendy Payne died in 2017 at the age of 51.

There are no more details available about the exact date and time of her death. The death took place in her native Philadelphia.

There is no information available about the likely cause of her death. Was it an opiate overdose? Was it accidental or a suicide?

Chynna’s drug addiction

The hip-hop artist was initially a model. Once her musical career took off, she indulged in drugs and it was pretty bad. But Chynna was quite open about her opiate addiction.

She had struggled with it and undergone rehab therapy. Her 2016 mixtape Ninety carried details of all her troubles. She released this tape on her 22nd birthday in August 2016. At that time, she completed her three months of sobriety.

In 2018, in an interview given to Pitchfork, she said:

“It got to the point where I had to do something just to be able to get onstage and do my job. I didn’t like that.”

Death made a mention in her music and songs repeatedly. This is included in her album ‘in case I die first’. This was also the name of one of her tours. Just one day prior to her death, Chynna had uploaded an Instagram video in which she said:

“I think there’s too many soundtracks to our lives,”
“I need music to die to.”

Tributes for Chynna

Her sudden death has stunned the hip-hop world. Many young rappers have died suddenly in the recent past including Juice WRLD who died in December 2019 due to an apparent drug overdose.

He was just 21. One of Chynna’s mentors, ASAP Yams, died in 2015 at age 26 due to the same: accidental drug intoxication.
