(In 2019, Rolling Stone reported on the events of this night.) Per the filings, Womack’s legal team alleges Peep was instructed to take an excessive amount of Xanax on the day before he died, before a show in El Paso. His mother and estate administrator Liza Womack filed suit in October 2019 against FAE, alleging that the management and record services company pushed her son into “asymmetrical” joint-venture business agreements, breached its contracts by not ensuring his safety, and was actively “plying and propping him up” with drugs while he was under the supervision of its agents and managers.Īccording to court documents filed in July 2020 and reviewed by Rolling Stone, Womack’s legal team has since amended their legal argument to make the explicit case that various tour managers hired by FAE had provided some portion of the drugs that contributed to Åhr’s death. On November 15th, 2017 - shortly after his 21st birthday - Åhr died of an overdose from Xanax and fentanyl on a tour bus near Tucson, Arizona. Peep, whose real name is Gustav Elijah Åhr, soared to popularity on SoundCloud as a teenager and signed a multi-year contract with First Access Entertainment (FAE) in 2016. While Peep’s mother alleges that his label set him up with unfair contracts and directly contributed to his death, the label is now countering with its own claims against the estate. Three years since Lil Peep’s death, the legal battle over who’s responsible for the young rap star’s drug overdose is more intense than ever. ![]()
