Rapper Martell Derouen, known in the music industry as “Kardone”, was found dead in his apartment in the state of Texas, United States.
According to international media, authorities came to the scene after being informed of his disappearance and found the 34-year-old singer with a shot.
According to reports, the police already have the prime suspect in the case, Sasha Skare, 21, and are trying to find out her whereabouts.
The young woman was reportedly with Derouen at the time of her death, after trying for several months to start her music career through the singer. And he has been charged with sexual assault for an incident that took place in 2019 in which his romantic partner died.
Derouen had more than once referred to sharing blood with the singer Beyoncé, but claimed he preferred to succeed on his own and not take advantage of his cousin’s fame.
His entry into the music world dates back to 2016, when he released a mixtape called ‘Truck Bang’ through Empire. In 2019 he signed with the record label The Orchard, affiliated with Sony.
