Fulton County is poised to honor the late rapper Rich Homie Quan with a proclamation declaring September 19, 2024, as "Rich Homie Quan Remembrance Day. " This initiative will be discussed during the Fulton County Board of Commissioners' regular meeting on Wednesday morning. The proclamation follows a similar move made by the Atlanta City Council on September 17, the day of Quan's funeral. Known legally as Dequantes Devontay Lamar, the rapper passed away at an Atlanta hospital on September 5, at the age of 34. His funeral service at World Changers Church International sold out, drawing hundreds of fans who came to pay their respects.
Attendees remembered Quan as a bright light who inspired many, reflecting on his significant contributions to the evolution of trap music. The decision to honor him with a dedicated remembrance day emphasizes the lasting impact he had on his community and the music industry. As fans and officials prepare to commemorate his legacy, the proclamation serves as a heartfelt tribute to a beloved artist.
