He found Rich Homie Quan asleep on the kitchen floor with food in his mouth, a sight he described as “very unusual”.

Concerned, he moved his brother to the couch and police were called later that morning.

Quan had hits including the trap single Type of Way in 2013 and Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh) — which inspired a track from rapper iLoveMemphis titled Hit The Quan in 2016.

The viral song sparked a “Hit The Quan” dance craze, after the rapper popularised a series of low-stepping, arm-swinging dance movements in the music video for Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh).
