RALAN STYLES,
2002-2024

Rapper Ralan Styles, best known for his 2022 viral hit "Baby Shark," died on Saturday (10/19) following an early-morning shooting in the Victorian Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. He was 22. Styles' label, Big Money Records/Republic, confirmed his death via Instagram.

"It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news that our beloved artist Michael Robinson, known to many as Ralan Styles, was taken from us early this morning," the post reads. "Michael was not just an incredible talent but a kind-hearted soul who poured his heart into every song he made for his fans. He touched many lives through his music, and his legacy will live on through the beats and lyrics he created."

Styles, who was from Tallahassee, Florida, was shot multiple times. A 24-year-old suspect, Mahamood Hassan, was arrested and charged with murder after being identified by witnesses. Hassan is currently being held on $2m bond.
