‘So Sorry for Your Loss’: Fetty Wap’s 4-Year-Old Daughter Lauren Maxwell Confirmed Dead, Fans Send Condolences

Rapper Fetty Wap’s 4-year-old daughter Lauren Maxwell was confirmed deceased on Saturday, July 31, after the toddler’s mother, who goes by the stage name Turquoise Miami paid tribute in honor of her passing. 

Miami shared a touching post alongside a video of Maxwell. Despite conflicting reports that the toddler initially passed away back in June, details of Maxwell’s death have yet to be released.

Miami recalled the four-year-old as “amazing, vibrant, and funny” as she captioned the clip of Maxwell jumping up and down the pool, “This is my amazing, beautiful, funny, vibrant, loving, talented, smart and hardheaded princess mermaid Aquarius. If you see this post scrolling by with her comment or just say to yourself “i love you LAUREN” because they say that souls can feel your love #rip💔.”

As Miami’s comments section began flooding with “I love you Lauren,” several people also decided to express their condolences. 

“So sorry for your loss 🙏.”

“Prayers to you…. You have the most BEAUTIFUL angel of them all.”

“Sending healing vibes your way❤️❤️.”

“Sending my condolences and love your way ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.”

Despite Miami’s tribute post, Fetty has yet to directly comment on his daughter’s death. The 30-year-old, however, did acknowledge Maxwell’s passing a few days prior during his Rolling Loud performance, according to Rap-Up magazine. Fetty wrote in a since-deleted Instagram story, “LoLo daddy did that shit for you last night baby girl.”

Maxwell was one of Fetty’s six children. Fetty is a father to Aydin, 10, Zaviera, 6, Khari, 5, Amani, 5, and three-year-old Zy. 

In June, in honor of Father’s Day, Fetty expressed how much his kids meant to him by sharing the heartfelt caption, “Pieces of my heart ❤️ ….. It’s them over anything or anybody 👑.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
