Erica Banks has sparked major criticism online after she shared a tribute post about Rich Homie Quan. Additionally, Bank’s post made hours after reports of Quan’s passing appeared to display intimate moments between her and Quan.
Furthermore, audio has also been released of the 911 call requesting paramedics for Quan.
On the afternoon of Thursday, September 5, Banks took to Instagram to share a now-deleted post paying tribute to Quan. In the caption of her post, she wrote, “All you wanted was to find happiness again… I always saw it in your face and heard it in your voice… But you had so much left to do…”
Banks continued her post by seemingly explaining that Quan had upcoming milestones such as his tour kick-off, his album, and his birthday on October 4.
“I’m just glad we were able to enjoy such peaceful and memorable moments while you were here man,” she continued. “Such a sweetheart! Rest in Paradise Quan…”
Furthermore, Banks’ now-deleted post featured footage of Quan planting kisses on her face while another slide showed him seemingly lying in her lap. A final post in Bank’s carousel seemingly showed a text she received from Quan where he confessed his interest in her.
Social media users reacted to Erica Bank’s tribute in The Shade Room’s comment section. To note, Quan shared two children with a woman named Amber Williams, although it remains unclear whether the pair were currently dating. Quan also reportedly had multiple kids from previous relationships, per Distractify.
Instagram user @nailglambycham wrote, “If it was a secret when he was alive, why expose it in his passing ”
“I understand you might be hurt but baby girl delete those pics and videos out of respect for his family man … you was a secret and not saying what yall shared was fake but certain stuff should remain a secret cause here comes all The unwanted hate towards you that you didn’t even know existed… …think before you do stuff lil one…” she wrote.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Rich Homie Quan’s passing was revealed on Thursday, September 5. The rapper’s family exclusively confirmed the tragic news with TMZ.
According to the outlet, Williams, who the outlet names as Quan’s “girlfriend,” saw the rapper lying on the couch this morning. When she returned after dropping their son at school, she reportedly noticed he hadn’t moved.
Williams then called 911, reporting that he wasn’t breathing and he had no heartbeat.
It was later determined that Quan reportedly died at his home.
