Junior M.A.F.I.A Rapper Chico Del Vec Cause of Death, How Did Chico Del Vec Die?

Chico Del Vec, a founding member of acclaimed Hip-Hop group, Junior M.A.F.I.A., has died.

The tragic news was confirmed by Special Ed on Monday (Aug. 14), via Twitter. “Just got a call. Rest In Peace Chico Del Vec. Junior Mafia,” he wrote. The cause of death remains unknown, but the rapper told AllHipHop, “I don’t have much details other than they found him in his room.”

Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s Nino Brown remains in a state of shock as he shared his reaction via his Instagram stories. “Nah Chico wtf,” he typed. “This one HURT man nah Chic wtf just saw u. Sorry can’t talk without crying so don’t think I’m ignoring y’all y’all don’t [know].”

Easy Mo Bee — the producer behind The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Going Back to Cali,” “Party And Bulls**t,” and Craig Mack’s “Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)” — shared a tribute to Chico on Instagram, where he reflected on his positive demeanor.

“I was in denial all day since the very first post that I saw,” he wrote. “Just didn’t want to believe that it was true. My eyes literally watered up a little bit. Chico was the kinda dude that checked in with me often. He would just call me up and be like ‘What up Mo Bee. You good?’ Never wanted anything. Just checking up on me. That’s who he was.”
