Rapper Fetty Wap was in tears as he spoke out on social media following the death of his four-year-old daughter, Lauren Maxwell.
The 30-year-old, real name Willie Junior Maxwell, took to Instagram Live to thank fans for their support as he mourned the loss of his ‘little twin’ in an emotional live chat with followers.
The Trap Queen artist – who shared Lauren with dancer Turquoise Miami – stated: ‘Man. Man. Thank y’all, yeah? That’s love. I appreciate ya’ll, for real. Damn. That’s love. She’d be happy as hell.’
The hitmaker clutched a photograph of Lauren whom he called his ‘little twin.’
‘Thank y’all, yeah? I appreciate y’all. Look at my little twin right there. Will y’all do me a favor, though? For real. Y’all can do me a favor? Just post all butterflies,’ he continued. ‘All butterflies. Shorty loved butterflies. Look at my little baby. Look at my little twin right there. I love you.’
Fetty’s ex Turquoise Miami, real name Lisa, confirmed the death of their child over the weekend.

Sharing a short clip to Instagram of her daughter in a swimming pool, Turquoise captioned the post: ‘This is my amazing, beautiful, funny, vibrant, loving, talented, smart and hardheaded princess mermaid Aquarius.
‘If you see this post scrolling by with her comment or just say to yourself “I love you LAUREN” because they say that souls can feel your love #rip.’
Fetty reportedly addressed Lauren’s death on his Instagram Stories shortly after a performance at the Rolling Loud festival, with the 30-year-old saying?: ‘LoLo daddy did that s*** for you last night baby girl.’
The musician also has at least five other children by four other mothers, with Lauren being his fifth child.

Fetty has had much heartbreak to deal with, having lost his brother, Twyshon Depew, last year.
Twyshon was shot and killed in New Jersey, and was later taken to St. Josephe’s University Medical Center, but later died of his injuries.
