The Chicago-born artist, whose real name was Jarad Anthony Higgins, died after reportedly having a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport. Higgins reportedly remained conscious while en route to a local hospital, according to TMZ, which first reported on the news.

He was pronounced dead around 3:14 a.m. local time at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, a spokesperson for the Cook County Medical Examiner told PEOPLE.

Higgins’ cause of death is not immediately known, although The Chicago Tribune reports the rapper’s longtime girlfriend Ally Lotti told cops that he “takes Percocet and has a drug problem.” An autopsy was performed Monday but the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said in a statement that “additional studies are required to establish the cause and manner of death. The cause and manner of death are pending at this time.”

The artist celebrated his 21st birthday on Dec. 2, just under a week before his death. In his last Instagram post, which was shared on his account last week, the rapper said that he planned to celebrate his special day “all week.”
