YouTuber Lil Bo Weep Dies At 22 After Fighting 'Against Her Demons,' Family Says

Australian rapper and YouTube star Lil Bo Weep died unexpectedly Saturday at the age of 22.

Weep's father Matthew Schofield shared the news of his daughter's death along with a series of photos in a Facebook post. The cause of death has not been released. The rapper, who was Born Winona Brooks, lost the fight “against her demons,” her family said.

“02/01/2000 to 05/03/2022... This weekend we lost the fight for my daughter’s life against depression, trauma, PTSD, and drug addiction that we have been fighting since we got her back from America through emergency repatriation DFAT but broken," he wrote. “She fought hard against her demons as we all did a side by side next to her and picked up the broken pieces over and over again but she could not fight anymore and we lost her.”

Weep's fist music production was on SoundCloud in 2015. Her song "CODEPENDENCY" streamed millions of times on Spotify.

“As her dad, I am proud of her beyond words as she is my hero, my daughter, and my best friend that I love so so much," her father wrote in the statement. “She is no longer hurting now with the universe wanting their angel back.

“A big part of me is lost at the moment but I ask respectfully that my close friends try not to ring me until I get some way through this... ALWAYS IN MY HEART. I LOVE MY WINNIE,” the post ended.

Winona’s final Instagram post came just days before her death on March 5, 2022.

In the post, she wrote to her followers about her wish to organize a memorial event to mark one year since the death of her child. She also shared it was unlikely she’d ever conceive another child naturally after “growing up with a severe eating disorder.”

“I’ve been crying continuously. I’m sorry,” Winona said. “Around this time last year, I lost my child, and I would like to do something in remembrance of her.

“Preferably spread some flowers at a beach and spend the day just mourning.”

Her video ended: “I’d really appreciate it if anyone in Adelaide would do that for me and with me, so please reach out.”

The late singer also captioned: “Btw I’m NOT high, I am heavily dosed on Seroquel to avoid any psychosis from my cptsd.”

She also said her “severe eating disorder" affected her fertility.

“I may never be able to have a full-term pregnancy or have a child of my own due to the way I treated my body,” she said.
