Texas-based rapper Enchanting, whose real name is Channing Nicole Larry, was taken off life support following a drug overdose that left her in intensive care. The 26-year-old artist, signed to Gucci Mane's 1017 label from 2020 until this year, tragically passed away despite efforts to save her.

"She came to my house the last four days to get clean. She tried her best and I did everything I could to help her," a representative from her management team told The Shade Room, confirming her death on Tuesday evening.

Larry's boyfriend, MotionGod Bandman, shared a heartfelt message on Facebook along with a photo of the couple, writing, "You finally found that peace that you was looking for you. Y'all hurt me bad." Gucci Mane also expressed his sorrow on Instagram, stating, "So sad to have to say R.I.P to such a great young lady a true star we gone all miss you Chant," though he did not disclose an official cause of death.

Larry's profile has been removed from the 1017 label's website, which previously noted her beginnings in music after graduating high school. Describing her style as "Trap-n-Blues," Larry had said, "Other people can relate to the things I say. I might help somebody through any situation, they can listen to me and find peace."

Her YouTube channel amassed four million views, and she had around 660,000 monthly streams on Spotify. In 2020, she appeared on the mixtape Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer. Larry was also active on OnlyFans, where she garnered over 25,000 likes.

Born in Germany as an Army brat, Larry moved to Atlanta before settling in Fort Worth, Texas, which she considered home. In a 2023 profile by the Dallas Observer, she shared her journey from singing in the church choir and cheerleading in high school to working in hair and nails before pursuing a career in hip-hop. She worked with renowned producer J White, known for his collaborations with Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Gucci Mane.

Reflecting on the rise of female artists in hip-hop, Larry said, "It's looking hopeful for more and more women to just continue to blow up. I feel like it was a male-dominated sport, but now it's becoming more feminine-dominated. I love that for the girls."
