Lil Poppa’s family is urging the public to help locate a missing Goyard bag and jewelry they say disappeared following the “Love & War” artist’s death.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Poppa’s sister, Orieon, revealed that the items went missing from a Hilton hotel parking lot in the Atlanta area. As previously reported, Poppa, born Janarious Mykel Wheeler, died by suicide in February. Reports later indicated he may have been involved in a single-car crash before making his way to the hotel parking lot. The 25-year-old then fatally shot himself in the head.
“We are asking for the public’s help and attention regarding something very important to us,” Orieon wrote in a post shared on Sunday (March 29). “On the day of Lil Poppa’s passing, he had his jewelry secured in his Goyard bag. On that day, the jewelry and the bag has gone missing – and the family still has NO answers.”
She continued: “This incident took place in the parking lot of the Hilton Hotel off 285 & Virginia Ave in Atlanta, GA. The family has reached out and asked questions to South Metro Towing on Moreland Ave, Hapeville Police – but there has been no clear information or resolution. We are simply seeking the truth and accountability. If anyone has any information, no matter how small it may seem, PLEASE come forward. … The family deserves answers!”
In a statement released following the early reports of Lil Poppa’s passing, representatives for Collective Music Group (CMG), the Memphis label founded by Yo Gotti, said they were “stunned and devastated” by the news. Poppa had signed with the label in 2022 and went on to drop several projects under its banner.
To mark the CMG partnership, Poppa and Gotti teamed up on the track “H Spot.”
