Rap world reacts to Big Scarr's death amid overdose speculations

Since his death was announced on December 22, the hip-hop community has been remembering Big Scarr. Furthermore, there has been pure conjecture that his death was caused by a pill overdose. However, this theory has yet to be confirmed.

Netizens have been sharing old videos of the rapper showing off pills of different kinds to corroborate the speculation, but no one from his team has come forward to confirm it. People are alleging that he overdosed in front of his girlfriend, but it's unclear whether the rapper, born Alexander Woods, was dating at the time of his death.

Scarr was a very private person who never made his relationships public during his lifetime. The allegation goes further, with netizens claiming that Scarr's girlfriend failed to administer Narcan while he was overdosing on Percocet pills, blaming her for his death and disparaging her in the process.

Additionally, allegations also suggest that Big Scarr was shot to death, but that happened in 2020, and he recovered very well from the event.
