Model and Rapper Chynna Died of Accidental Drug Overdose

Model-turned-rapper Chynna was killed by an accidental drug overdose, Philadelphia authorities told People. The 25-year-old, who was found dead Wednesday in her Philly home, had been open in the past about her struggle with addiction. “It got to the point where I had to do something just to be able to get onstage and do my job.

Chynna, who launched her hip-hop career with A$AP Mob, said in that interview that she had gone through rehab.
