Rapper Waka Flocka Flame's younger brother Kayo Redd died Sunday from an apparent suicide, TMZ reports.

While his cause of death has not yet been confirmed law enforcement officials indicate all evidence points to the aspiring rapper taking his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Redd, born Coades Scott, was found dead Dec. 29 near his home in Atlanta, Georgia. Just hours before his alleged suicide he took to Twitter to promote his new mixtape "Redd Kisses."

"Make sure you go vote & download my latest mixtape Redd Kisses," he tweeted around 5 p.m.

After the young man's passing, which was confirmed by his brother, whose real name is Juaquin Malphurs, and their mother and manager Debra Antey, the "No Hands" rapper tweeted about his sibling's death.

"Ya Big Brother love you Kayo," Waka wrote.

Sadly, this is not the first brother the 27-year-old rapper has lost. When he was 13 his other brother died after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle home.
