R&B Singer Emani Dead At 22 Years Old

R&B singer Emani Johnson, better known as Emani or Emani 22 died on Monday after an undisclosed accident. Best known for her songs "Feelings", "Close" and "Inside" with rapper Trippie Redd, her career was on the upswing. The reason behind her death has not been made public yet, although, in an official statement, it has been called a "tragic accident".

Beautiful and popular, Emani was climbing the way up the R&B ladder but her untimely passing has left her friends and family in shock.

In an official statement to People, her manager communicated, "It is with heavy hearts that the family of Emani has confirmed her passing. They would like to share that although she fought courageously and the medical team went above and beyond doing everything in their power to aid in her recovery, on Monday, October 11th, Emani succumbed to the injuries she sustained after a tragic accident. At this time, Emani's family is asking for privacy to mourn and honor her life and memories."

While the cause of her death has not been confirmed, rumors talk about a car crash. Either way, the death is tragic and fans can't quite believe it. Emani had already amassed an Instagram following of more than 150,000 fans, one of them being DJ Diplo.

J Maine also gave a statement to People magazine, calling Emani a wonderful person who brightened the room she was in. He said, "I worked on music with her, and helped her put together her last project which was 'The Color Red.' The way we worked together was effortless, we just understood each other. It hurts so bad to know that the last time I saw her was the last time I'd ever see her again."

Here's some of Emani's music.

He continued to say that Emani was like a little sister to him and stated, "She will be missed and never forgotten, and I'll always think about the great times we had hanging out."

Bhad Bhabie posted a tribute for Emani, writing, "I don’t even know what to say…This doesn’t even feel real. I used to spend almost every day with you. You taught me so many things. You are my inspiration for many things (hair, nails, style, etc) my big sister 😔I’m gonna miss you so much."

Wrote one fan, "Omgggg Not Her are you serious? I remember you posting her hella..."

Bhad Bhabie then posted another IG tribute as well, showing Emani with a dog, "Chuppas favorite auntie." Many of Emani's other R&B friends are coming forward as well, paying her a tribute on social media. Young, talented death is always a loss, but none more so for her family or friends.

As one fan put it, "Damn😔 keep her family in your prayers just checked out her music, she was very talented go check her music out (R.I.P🙏)".
