Young Scooter (real name: Kenneth Edward Rashad Bailey) passed away at the age of 39 in March 2025, as reported by multiple sources after the Atlanta police informed the public about the incident involving the rapper. Scooter left behind children, a daughter and two sons, as seen on the artist’s Instagram page «Jugg King». Since the southern hip-hop star kept his personal life private, most of his fans were unaware that he had more than one child.
Read on to learn more about Young Scooter’s children and his family.
Young Scooter was a rapper signed by his friends Future and Waka Flocka Flame. Throughout the 2010s, the Atlanta musical artist became known for hits such as «Colombia» and his feature on «Jet Lag».
In addition to other hip-hop artists, Scooter had a different approach to creating music, a technique he called «counting music».
«I don’t care what I say on the beat, as long as it’s about money», - Scooter told Complex magazine in 2013, noting that he did not write his lyrics. «When you try to think and write, that’s when everything goes wrong».
Yes, Scooter was a father. He included his three children on his Instagram: a daughter and two sons. In September 2024, he shared a photo of his youngest child, captioning the post: «YOUR FIRST TRAINING SESSION COMING SOON, GET READY SON @kingkobeda1 LOVE YOU, KID».
In response to this post, one social media user asked Scooter in the comments, «does he have another child», and Scooter replied with two laughing emojis and a muscle emoji.
In February 2025, Scooter shared an Instagram carousel of his daughter, who had turned 10 at the time.
«HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE ONE, I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK @1_prettykate BIG #10», Scooter captioned the post.
Scooter’s eldest son, Kenneth Bailey Jr., also appeared on his late father’s social media accounts.
It is unclear if Scooter was seeing anyone right before his death.
At the time of publication, the official cause of Scooter’s death had not been disclosed. On March 28, 2025, Scooter passed away after being taken to the hospital due to a leg injury sustained while fleeing from the police, Variety reports. Atlanta police stated that their officers responded to a 911 call about «a dispute with shots fired and a woman being dragged back into a house».
«When officers arrived, the male initially opened the door, then shut it in the officers' faces without communicating», - the police said. The officers then «established a perimeter», and two men «fled» from the scene. One man returned to the house, while the other «jumped over two fences» while fleeing.
The police continued: «When officers found him on the other side of the fence, it appeared he had sustained a leg injury. Officers provided aid, and he was taken to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead».
«To be very clear, the injury he sustained was not from officers at the scene. He sustained it while fleeing», - Atlanta police said in their official statement, according to Billboard
