The management team of Lexii Alijai have posted a tribute to the late rapper.

It was reported on Wednesday (January 1) that the 21-year-old, whose real name was Alexis Alijai Lynch, had died. A cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

1AM Media, whose management company and record label, 1AM Entertainment, managed Lynch, has now provided Variety with the following statement:

“Lexii was an extraordinary talent who left an indelible mark on the music industry in just a short period of time.

“She was a true lyricist and an exceptional storyteller with an authentic sound full of energy and curiosity. She had a deep love and devotion to music but more than anything, was a generous and kind soul, with an infectious spirit.
