Juice Wrld was about to hit the big time after signing a big money deal with Interscope Records, believed to have been worth several million dollars.

He shot to fame last when his track Luci Dreams scaled the US charts to number two while he had another hit with All Girls Are the Same, which featured Lil Yachty in a remix.

His most famous collaboration was with Travis Scott singing on his track No Bystanders on his AstroWorld album.

The stage name Juice Wrld is believed to have been inspired by rap legend Tupac Shakur and his performance in 1992 film Juice.
