Chynna Marie Rogers (August 19, 1994 – April 8, 2020), known mononymously as Chynna, was an American rapper, disc jockey, and model who was signed by Ford Modeling Agency at the age of 14[1] and affiliated with the ASAP Mob.[2]
Her association with ASAP Mob began through ASAP Yams. After hanging outside music studios she became his intern.[3] She struggled with addiction throughout her career; her mentor Yams died in 2015 of an accidental drug overdose and after a period of sobriety, her mother, Wendy Payne died in 2018. In an interview with Pitchfork` in January 2020, she described how the pressures of the music industry had played a part in her addiction: 'I felt that I hadn’t gone through enough terrible stuff to deserve to have this as a career. I didn’t feel like I deserved to be making a living off talking about my life yet because I just couldn’t relate to enough people.'[3]
Rogers released the singles "Selfie" (2013) and "Glen Coco" (2014).[4][5][6] These were followed by her first EP 'I'm not Here. This isn't happening' (2015), Music 2 die 2 (2016). Her final EP 'In case I die first' was released in 2019.[7]
Personal life[edit]

Rogers was found dead on April 8, 2020, of an accidental drug overdose.[8]
