An accidental overdose of a battery of prescription drugs led to the sudden June death of rapper Enchanting at the age of 26.
According to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office, the one-time protégé of Gucci Mane — whose real name was Channing Nicole Larry — died from an overdose involving a combination of the opioid painkiller oxycodone and benzodiazepines, a class of depressants that include medications such as Valium, Xanax and Klonopin.
The autopsy report, obtained Friday by TMZ, confirmed that she died at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.
On June 11, fellow Texas rapper Lil CJ Kasino broke the news on social media that Enchanting’s family had taken her off life support after she fell unconscious the day before.
According to gossip outlet The Shade Room, Enchanting had been suffering severe withdrawals in the days leading up to her hospitalization and eventually fell into critical condition following an alleged overdose.
“She came to my house the last four days to get clean,” a representative from her management team reportedly told the outlet. “She tried her best and I did everything I could to help her.”
Born in Germany, where her dad was stationed with the U.S. Army, the “No Luv” artist was raised in Atlanta and spent her teen years in Fort Worth, Texas.
After pursuing a rap career after high school, she signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records in 2020. She went on to release two full-length albums for the label and had three songs featured on the soundtrack for HBO’s “Rap Sh!t Season 2.”
Enchanting also appeared on Big Scarr’s posthumous 2023 album “The Secret Weapon,” released shortly after he reportedly overdosed on prescription pills the previous year at age of 22.
In a twist of fate, Enchanting addressed the risks of drug use a year before her own death — opening up about how her close friend took “a fake pill” and died from a heart attack the next day.
“You have to be realistic. I understand that people do whatever they do, if they feel like they’re going through pain or they just going through something, they want to feel better,” she said in a 2023 interview on the “Cigar Talk” podcast. “But it’s a big risk. Like, you could take one pill and literally die like, immediately… it’s really not worth it at the end of the day.”
