The tragic death of the rapper Rich Homie Quan has been completely inundated with sadness from his fans and family. However, in a bizarre incident following the tragedy, his fans found intimate videos and photos circulating online about the late musician.
Quan, whose real name was Dequantes Devontay Lamar, was discovered dead in his Atlanta home on September 5, 2024.

Other women followed suit after Banks, adding to the growing scandal. Light Bright was another to have similar backlash-a woman who shared videos of her video calls with Quan, and a heartfelt message from him. She later clarified Quan was only a “great friend” to her, but by the timing and the nature of the post, many called into question her intentions. Elsewhere, Big Britt shared videos of Quan in the studio and tender moments of him giving her neck kisses, showing that the two Linked up on March 18.
The reaction from the public was very negative, and many accused these women of clout-seeking concerning the death of Quan.
This quickly got criticism from fans who believed that this was a time, if anything, his family and long-term partner, Amber Williams, were in mourning. Calls for respect lit through social media, underlining that since these relationships were private while Quan was still alive, they needed to stay private upon his death. Quan’s family weighed in, joined in outrage, by demanding respect for the privacy of the family in this hard moment. They called the posts “deeply inappropriate and disrespectful” to his memory, as the matter is sensitive.
Their call for respect thereafter resonated with many who echoed into decency and condemned the exposure of such intimate moments. Although there was overall criticism, some voices did come forward to support Erica Banks and the other women for their way of grieving, saying that they had every right to do so. Supporters opined that such videos and photos shared by them could be their personal ways of healing, though contentious upon being judged by the standards of society. Notably, some other celebrities jumped in to support Banks, while rapper Akbar V was among those who called publicly on Banks to remove the posts out of respect for Quan’s family at this time.
Debate on the intimate posts raises wider questions about privacy, grief, and the propriety of personal post-mortem content. In many ways, not only does social media confound life in any so-called privacy, but it seems to have left many to wonder where the line might be drawn in the case of Rich Homie Quan. The posts have sparked discussion on how family members are impacted by the public representation of their misery, particularly when one expresses personal and private things that do not take into account the feelings of the closest to the deceased.
