Almost three months after Lil Poppa’s tragic passing, his family and fans are still trying to keep his legacy alive. Loved ones and supporters continue struggling to come to terms with him no longer being here. Following the release of toxicology and autopsy reports, Lil Poppa’s mother spoke out about the dangers of drug use, especially during mental health battles.

Lil Poppa’s Mother Opens Up Following The Release Of His Toxicology & Autopsy Report

Lil Poppa’s loving mother, Ms. Lynn, took to Instagram earlier this week while trying to keep her son’s legacy alive. She also hoped to bring awareness following the release of his toxicology reports. In the post, she revealed that methamphetamine was found in Lil Poppa’s system at the time of his passing. Ms. Lynn shared that she believes the drugs played a major role in what happened, especially while he battled depression and anxiety.

She explained that her family decided to share the information not to shame Lil Poppa, but to help others understand the dangers of substance abuse and mental health struggles. Ms. Lynn also reflected on the rapper as a loving father, son, and a good-hearted person.

“To everyone who has continued to support and pray for our family since the passing of my son, Lil Poppa, I want to finally speak on the autopsy and toxicology reports.

The reports confirmed that methamphetamine was in his system at the time of his passing. As his family, we truly believe the drugs played a major part in what happened.

Although he did struggle with depression and anxiety, we know in our hearts that the substances affecting his mind and judgment made an already difficult battle even harder.

The son we knew and loved would never have wanted to leave behind his child, his family, or the people who cared about him so deeply if he had been in the right state of mind. Substance abuse can change a person’s thinking, emotions, and decisions in heartbreaking ways.

We are sharing this not to shame him, but to tell the truth and hopefully bring awareness to how dangerous these drugs truly are, especially when someone is already struggling emotionally or mentally.

Beneath everything, he was still a loving father, son, and person with a good heart. We ask everyone to continue remembering him for the love, talent, and light he brought into this world, not just for the way we lost him.

Please continue to keep our family, especially his child, in your prayers as we navigate this pain day by day. If sharing his story can help even one person, then speaking honestly about it matters.

Rest easy, son. We love you forever.”

Amid her statement, TMZ also shared an update from the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s report. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Lil Poppa passed away from a single self-inflicted gunshot wound. This, reportedly to the left side of his head, sustained while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle.

Orieon Shares Heartfelt Message About The Impact Drugs Had On Her Brother Lil Poppa’s Mental Health

Lil Poppa’s little sister, Orieon, also took to social media to reflect on her brother’s legacy and mental health struggles. She shared throwback photos while opening up about how deeply drugs impacted Lil Poppa before his passing.

In her emotional message, Orieon shared that she believes the drugs changed her brother’s mindset. And contributed to the heartbreaking situation. She also reflected on Lil Poppa’s love for his son, Kofi, his relationship with God, his dreams, ambition, and the future she believes he still wanted.

“Although that bullet killed you, deep down I know it was the drugs.

You wouldn’t have done this if you were in your right state of mind, and that’s the most painful part. Just off the strength and thought of Kofi alone, I know for a fact this would’ve NEVER happened.

You loved too hard and cared too deeply to ever willingly leave behind the people who needed you most. That’s why it’s so hard for me to make peace with any of this. Those drugs changed you in ways you never intended. They clouded your mind and spirit, and I hate that they got such a hold on you like this.

Your relationship with God was too deep. You just wanted to be happy, and you were getting there. Through all of this, I still saw the version of you that would’ve done anything for Kofi. The version of you that still had dreams, plans, and people counting on him. I SAW THE REAL YOU, P.

That’s the version of you I’ll never stop grieving. Because I truly believe, with my whole heart, that if those drugs never entered your life, none of this would’ve happened.”
