Rich Homie Quan is an American hip hop recording artist from Atlanta, Georgia.
Dequantes Devontay Lamar, better known by his stage name Rich Homie Quan, was born on October 4, 1989, in Atlanta, Georgia. As a child, Quan was reserved and mostly kept to himself while attending school. He enjoyed reading and literature, showing a clear affinity for writing early on. Beyond academics, he developed a deep interest in baseball, a sport he pursued seriously throughout his youth.
Quan played on his high school’s varsity baseball team as a center fielder and leadoff hitter beginning his freshman year. His performance earned him a scholarship to Fort Valley State University, reflecting his aspiration to become a professional baseball player. However, his passion for the sport gradually waned, leading him to explore other paths.
As his interest in baseball diminished, Quan began to invest time in music and rapping. During this transitional phase, he briefly held a job, which he soon lost. The setback had a significant impact on his life. Struggling financially and emotionally, he turned to criminal activity, which resulted in a 15-month incarceration.
His time in prison marked a turning point. Quan used the opportunity to rethink his life and decide on a new direction. He resolved to abandon his former introverted nature and emerged from prison with renewed confidence and focus, ultimately channeling his energy into music.
Rich Homie Quan has three children, ranging in age from 1 to 8 years. His father, Corey Lamar, was previously the victim of a violent incident in which he was shot multiple times during a robbery at his barbershop. Quan has been in a long-term relationship with his partner Amber Rella.
In addition to his musical talents, Quan is regarded as a style icon by many fans. Known for his distinctive fashion sense, he often sports bold clothing choices and signature neck chains, a trend popular among many hip hop artists.
Rich Homie Quan launched his music career in 2012 with the release of his debut mixtape, Still Goin In. The project garnered critical acclaim and established his presence in the Atlanta rap scene. The New York Times praised his emotionally charged vocal style and melodic delivery, noting his ability to convey vulnerability through his music. His breakout single, "Type of Way," peaked at number 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100, propelling him to national recognition.
Quan has collaborated with several prominent hip hop artists, including Trinidad James, Young Jeezy, YG, and 2 Chainz. He featured on YG’s hit song "My N***a," which reached number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was also included in 2 Chainz’s second studio album. Notably, Michigan State University's football team adopted "Type of Way" as an anthem during their 2013 season.

In 2014, Quan made headlines after reportedly experiencing two seizures and suffering a head injury while filming the music video for his single "Walk Thru." While speculation about drug use circulated, Quan denied such claims. Despite this controversy, he continued to build momentum in his career.
