Tragically, Tracey's efforts at a normal life were cut short as her former manager, Lily Red, confirmed that Tracie passed away. According to The Sun, Tracie died on July 1, 2021, just one week after giving birth. Lily shared her final text message exchange with Tracie, during which she revealed that she was sober. "Ty Katie. Thnx for explaining everything to me," Tracie said, adding, "Now I get it. U don't owe me a dime. Sorry for all the confusion. I hope you get better emotionally." This came two years after Tracie was arrested for drug possession.

Shortly after Tracie's death was confirmed, fans flooded Reddit to express their sadness. Tracie had done so well, it was shocking to hear she lost her life so soon, especially after giving birth.

I hope they are placed with a loving family." Another said, "She just gave birth. How horrible."

Many users took to the Reddit thread to express how sad they were about Tracie not being able to show the world how good of a mother she could be.

However, no word on how he is doing today either.
