Yung Joc faced an unthinkable tragedy as a devastating apartment fire in southwest Atlanta took the lives of three of his brother’s young children.

The fire, which occurred at the Country Oaks Apartments, claimed the lives of 4-year-old Jhacari White, 9-month-old Xhalia White, and 1-year-old Xyla White.

Despite efforts by emergency crews and medical staff at Grady Memorial Hospital, the siblings tragically succumbed to injuries from smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

During his Streetz Morning Takeover show, the Atlanta rapper and radio host shared the heartbreaking news, disclosing his personal connection to the victims while initially choosing to remain silent to keep the focus on the children.

An emotional Yung Joc expressed the pain he and his family are going through, emphasizing the human aspect of the tragedy.

A touching community candlelight vigil was held on what would have been Xyla’s second birthday to remember the young lives lost and offer support to the grieving family.

Neighbors, friends, and community members gathered to mourn together, seeking solace and unity in a time of shared sadness.

As investigations continue, local authorities advise residents to prioritize smoke detectors and emergency evacuation plans to prevent similar tragedies.
