Truett Foster McKeehan, the eldest son of Christian rapper and entertainer TobyMac, has died. Truett was 21.

Truett passed away at his Nashville home sometime Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, a PR rep for TobyMac confirmed. The cause of death has not been determined.

“Toby was traveling back from Canada and did not get home to be with his family until after midnight last night so there is no statement, we just ask that everyone please be respectful of their privacy during this time and allow them to grieve their loss,” a spokesperson for TobyMac said.

Truett, the eldest of McKeehan’s five children, was also an aspiring rapper, who released music under the names Truett Foster, TRU, Shiloah, and truDog.

TobyMac included a song, “Scars,” on his most recent album, The Elements, which discussed his struggle with seeing Truett leave home.
