Did PoorStacy have children? Family and more about Florida rapper as he dies at 26

Rapper PoorStacy (stylized as POORSTACY), 26, died on Saturday, November 29, TMZ reported. He was reportedly staying at a Boca Raton, Florida, hotel before getting rushed to a hospital on Saturday morning, an employee told the outlet. 

Per TMZ, PoorStacy had checked in with a woman and a toddler 10 days before his death, but no one else was reported to be injured or hospitalized. The identities of the other occupants remain undisclosed, while it remains unconfirmed whether the rapper was the father of the child. 

PoorStacy had posted a selfie with a baby, supposedly his child, in a multi-carousel Instagram post in August. In 2023, he was also involved in a domestic dispute involving his girlfriend, their one-month-old child, and a pet. 

According to TrapMetal, PoorStacy, whose real name was Carlito Milfort Jr., was identified as the baby’s biological father. It remains unconfirmed whether the rapper fathered another child. Furthermore, a GoFundMe launched by his family also confirmed that Carlito had one child.  

For those unaware, Milfort hailed from Palm Beach, Florida, and had a mixed ancestry. PoorStacy revealed in one of his Instagram Live broadcasts that he is half Sicilian Italian and half Haitian. According to a recording posted by @poorstacy_stans, the singer spoke about his ancestry and said: 

“My mother is Sicilian Italian and my father is Haitian.” 

According to HypeFresh, Milfort’s father taught him to play the guitar, while he began writing and recording his own material by the age of 12. His music drew influences from various genres, including hip-hop, punk rock, and heavy metal. PoorStacy started by uploading music to SoundCloud and dropped his debut album, The Breakfast Club, in 2020, after garnering popularity with his previous projects. Earlier this year, the rapper dropped his most recent track Parasite in collaboration with Robert Mendoca.
