Before his death, Coly shared one final Instagram message to his fans via Stories, simply writing “I love yall” along with an orange heart emoji.
As a rapper, Coly racked up tens of millions of streams with his songs “Break ya Back,” “I Just Wanna,” “Feelings,” “Stick With You,” “My Li Shawty” and “Numb.” His Spotify profile indicates he had 129,000 monthly listeners.
Coly’s hip-hop fame spun out from his career as a social media influencer. He developed a following on YouTube, Instagram and the now-defunct Vine. On YouTube, he was one of the main stars of the YouTube Channel “Lucas & Amber” alongside his ex-girlfriend Amber H. She has spoken out in an emotional livestream, per The Shade Room, pushing back against online trolls who blamed her for his death. She also claimed Coly had threatened to harm himself during the last phone call they shared.
