After the death of Mariel Semonte Orr, better known professionally as Trouble DTE, was confirmed, the community of rappers living in the United States sympathized with sadness that overwhelms his family and friends.
This Saturday night, while he was in his vehicle on his way home, the 34-year-old performer was shot several times. However, there is no official statement issued by the authorities indicating a probable suspect or the motive for the murder.
A decade-long career
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Trouble DTE broke into the professional music world in April 2011 with the release of his mixtape "December 17th."
After that, the rapper released another pair of studio albums, Edgewood (2018) and Thug Love (2020).
Later, Trouble DTE signed with Mike WiLL Made-It and his label Ear Drummer Records.
The style of interpreting his musical tracks recently allowed him to be included by XXL magazine in the list of the 15 best rap artists.
Expert in social media management
And the key to this lay in the fact that Trouble knew how to exploit social networks to get his music to his fans.
That is why the rapper maintained constant interaction with his followers, informing them of practically every step he took.
Even, minutes before he was murdered he wrote a message that today can be interpreted as his farewell to this world.
"Trying to get home safely to try to avoid any trouble on the streets of Atlanta," the text noted.
On YouTube and Twitter alone he has more than 120 thousand subscribers.
According to Wealthy Leo, the rapper had an estimated net worth of one million dollars. However, the information is ambiguous, because in several media it is said that his fortune could range between one and up to $10 million.
The truth is that Trouble wrote hit songs that have received more than one million views on different platforms. Among them, the most recognized are You Ain't Street and Tetsuo & Youth.
In addition, it should be noted that he also collaborated with the likes of Quavo, Young Thug and Skippa Da Flippa, to name a few.
