Viral Baby Shark rapper Ralan Styles fatally shot aged 22 after attempted robbery

As a fan who followed Ralan Styles’ journey from his middle school days to his meteoric rise in the rap world, I am deeply saddened by this tragic news. The energy he brought to every performance was infectious and his remix of Baby Shark will forever be etched in my memory as a testament to his creativity and talent.


22-year-old rapper Ralan Styles, known for his viral Baby Shark rap remix from 2022, tragically passed away recently.

Ever since I shared my Baby Shark remix way back in 2022, it seems like everyone’s been talking about me! My fanbase has grown significantly on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and others. It’s truly humbling to see the support!

7 million people have watched his song on YouTube, while it’s been streamed 32 million times on Spotify. Additionally, it has garnered significant views on other platforms such as YouTube and Apple Music.

It was announced on October 21st by Daily Mail that Ralan Styles tragically lost his life during a botched robbery in Columbus, Ohio. According to reports, Styles was fatally shot multiple times at a local residence when the suspected thief attempted to steal his necklace.

Onlookers provided the police with an extensive account of the gunman, which led them to apprehend him in close proximity. Subsequently, he was detained and indicted for homicide.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the rapper’s sibling announced the passing of his brother, expressing disbelief and longing for a call confirming it was all a prank: “Can’t believe my little brother, man. I’m still waiting for you to call me and tell me this is just a joke.

My heart is shattered irrevocably; I’ll never regain the same essence. We transitioned from joking about rapping at lunchtime during middle school to achieving stardom together… My dear friend, you will always live on within me. Farewell to my little brother Ralan Styles.

As a fellow admirer of Ralan Styles, I too felt compelled to express my condolences on Instagram, sharing a heartfelt tribute to this influential rapper.

You left us far too soon. Over the last two years, Jake and I had the pleasure of knowing your lively, humorous, and gifted self. There was always something exciting happening when you were around, be it in the studio, hanging out at Jake’s basement, or even on car rides to McDonald’s,” he expressed.

Your spirit was one that would always be cherished, and I’ll truly miss our daily interactions on DM. It’s hard to write this, but life can sometimes be unfair. Rest In Peace, Ralan.
