Lil Loaded, the Dallas rapper behind the 2019 viral summer hit "6locc 6a6y," has died at age 20.

The Dallas County medical examiner’s office confirmed Monday to USA TODAY that the young rapper, whose legal name was Dashawn Robertson, had died. Officials did not reveal the cause of his death.

Ashkan Mehryari, an attorney for the rapper, told USA TODAY the cause of death was suicide. "Sadly, I am able to confirm Mr. Robertson passed away today," Mehryari wrote in a statement.

The attorney told the Dallas Morning News that his client's death was "very tragic," adding, "He had a very bright and promising music career ahead of him."

Lil Loaded's death comes a week after “6locc 6a6y” was certified gold on May 25 by the Recording Industry Association of America. "6LOCC 6A6Y Certified Gold ������������ Who runnin dis (expletive) like me ������������ … dopest fanbase on earth," Lil Loaded wrote on Instagram at the time.

The music video for the song has amassed nearly 29 million views on YouTube. The rapper's follow-up single in October 2019, "Gang Unit," became an even bigger hit with over 39 million YouTube views.

On October 25, 2020, Robertson allegedly shot and killed a friend, 18-year-old Khalil Walker, while recording a music video. Robertson turned himself in to police on November 9, 2020, after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was indicted on a lesser charge of manslaughter in connection with the incident in February 2021. Robertson maintained that the incident was an accident.
