Last night Cali Swag District Member JayAre lost his battle against Sickle Cell anemia.
JayAre, a member of Inglewood, Calif., rap group Cali Swag District, has died. He was 25 years old.
Jayare, whose real name is Cahron Childs, suffered from sickle cell anemia and was admitted to the hospital on Thursday night, according to a source who spoke to MTV News.
While there, he fell into cardiac arrest and died.
On Friday, Cali Swag member Corey “Smoove Da General” Fowler tweeted about his friend and musical collaborator.
“Rest in peace Jayare I’m gonna miss u forever ..I will never get over this..but I know God got u..and I know You got me,” he wrote.
Cali Swag District rose quickly in the music scene in 2010 with their first single, “Teach Me How to Dougie,” which not only peaked at No. 6 on Billboard’s rap singles chart, but also spawned the biggest dance phenomenon since Soulja Boy’s “Crank Dat” back in 2007.
Just two years ago, Cali Swag District member Montae “M-Bone” Talbert was killed in a drive-by shooting.
