Rapper and frequent Travis Barker collaborator Poorstacy has died at the age of 26.
The star, full name Carlito Junior Milfort, is understood to have been staying at a hotel in Boca Raton, Florida, when police were called on Saturday.
Poorstacy was said to have been taken to a nearby hospital by authorities.
The Boca Raton Police Department confirmed to Billboard that the rapper died after an ‘incident’. His cause of death has not been confirmed.
Poorstacy hailed from nearby Palm Beach. The county’s medical examiner subsequently confirmed the musician’s death to Page Six.
The rapper-singer had worked closely with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker on several emo-rap tracks.

He and Barker collaborated on the tracks Choose Life, Nothing Left, and Hills Have Eyes.
Of their three songs together, their 2020 track Choose Life, off his album The Breakfast Club, saw the most success.
Barker has yet to comment publicly on the news of Poorstacy’s death.
Over his career, Poorstacy produced music that blended genres of hip hop, punk rock and heavy metal. He currently holds nearly 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Poorstacy released two studio albums, two EPs, and was featured on the Grammy Award-nominated Bill & Ted Face the Music soundtrack.
He also collaborated with singer and rapper Iann Dior, who has shared a slideshow of photos of the two with his 1million Instagram followers.
