Live Stream: Rich Homie Quan Celebration of Life Funeral Service
On September 5, Dequantes Devontay Lamar, known to the world as Rich Homie Quan, tragically passed away at the age of 34.
Quan’s father and longtime manager, Corey Lamar, initially planned a small, private service for close family, stating it was important to “begin the healing process.” However, he later reconsidered, saying, “Without the fans, there would be no Quan.”
In honor of Rich Homie Quan’s life and legacy, Fox 5 Atlanta will be live streaming the funeral service at World Changers Church International in College Park.
Rich Homie Quan rose to prominence in 2013 with his breakout single “Type of Way,” which reached number 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100. His mixtape Still Goin’ In (Reloaded) was later named one of the top 10 mixtapes of the year by Rolling Stone. The following year, Quan teamed up with Problem for the hit single “Walk Thru” and joined forces with Birdman’s Rich Gang. Alongside Young Thug, he became part of the group’s success, with their single “Lifestyle,” produced by London On Da Track, earning platinum certification.
Quan later returned to his solo career, releasing his debut album Rich as in Spirit in 2018.
