Emani, the rising R&B talent, has died aged 22

Emani 22 has passed away at the age of just 22.

The tragic news has been confirmed by producer J Maine, who spoke to People. He said, “Emani 22 was a wonderful individual that literally brightened up any room she was in. I worked on music with her, and helped her put together her last project which was The Color Red.

Adding: “The way we worked together was effortless, we just understood each other. It hurts so bad to know that the last time I saw her was the last time I’d ever see her again.”

Meanwhile, her close friend, Bhad Bhabie, posted a photo of them together alongside the heartbreaking caption, “I don’t even know what to say…This doesn’t even feel real.”

“I used to spend almost everyday with you,” the rapper wrote, before adding, “You taught me so many things. You are my inspiration for many things (hair, nails, style, etc) my big sister. I’m gonna miss you so much.”

Emani 22 collaborated with Trippie Redd on two occasions and her final project was last year’s seven-track mixtape, The Color Red. A cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
