The Twitter and Instagram pages of Trentavious White, better known as Bankroll Fresh, are collecting RIP wishes for the 28-year-old rapper. Atlanta-based Bankroll Fresh was shot at Street Execs Studio on Defoor Place on the evening of March 4. Approximately 50 shell casings were discovered on the ground near the area where Bankroll Fresh was shot dead. Trentavious had recently been featured as an up-and-coming rapper as White, who frequented the same recording studio used by Bankroll’s friend — well-known College Park rapper 2Chainz — began to get more press. Bankroll Fresh has received 136,000 tweets on Twitter, and the rapper’s name is currently trending as folks and fans can’t believe the man who was recently posting Instagram posts and Twitter tweets hours ago is now dead.
According to Fox Atlanta , the shooter or shooters have not been caught, and there is no known motive for Fresh’s killing . Bankroll was shot late on the evening of Friday, March 4, at approximately 11 p.m. local time — with reports that Fresh was actually inside of the studio when he was shot dead.
“Wow just knowin this man tweeted 6 hrs ago & now he’s gone! U never kno when its ur time to go!! R.I.P.”
On his most recent Twitter posts, fans of Fresh are tweeting their disbelief at his sudden death.
As reported by the Fader , Bankroll enjoyed the Street Execs recording studio and even gave Thanksgiving Day dinners to homes with single parents. Fresh was called an original, with his viral hit “Hot Boy” coming after he dubbed himself “Bankroll Fresh” instead of the “Yung Fresh” moniker he used to adopt.
The Street Execs recording studio appears on Twitter as Street Executives @StreetExecs and describes itself as the management company for several well-known rappers.

Ironically, the Street Execs photos of the studio’s recording rooms — where Bankroll was reportedly shot dead — include a room called the “No Stress Sky Lounge,” as well as Studio A, B, and C recording rooms. There is an in-house chef on call as well.
Fresh received kudos from famous folks for his flow and style of rapping, including one from Erykah Badu and Drake’s 2015 Instagram holler describing how even Marilyn Manson gave Fresh praise.
“I watched this guy go up to Bankroll Fresh tonight. Sydney is lit.”
Bankroll compared the rap scene to entering a bank with money and cash flowing everywhere, and Fresh wanted to figure out how to get his own piece of the pie and grab some of that money out of the proverbial rapping bank.
“Damn, let me start jumping on some of these songs.”
Bankroll Fresh jumped on songs indeed and eventually made a big enough name for himself to get him noticed and start making his own bankroll. Ironically, Fresh seemed to predict his own death when the Fader asked Bankroll about his life circa 2007, and he said that the city of Atlanta can swallow people who get too famous.
“I was in the streets, running around. I was hustling. But I also was going to the studio because I had seen the bigger picture. I knew I wasn’t gonna be able to make millions just running around in the streets because first of all your name will get too hot, they’ll try to knock you off. Or, I’ll get too piped up, a n**** might try to rob me. I shoot him, he shoot me. That’s just how this s*** goes in Atlanta this s*** real, for real. And mother******* don’t know it because they be so caught up in the “Okay, well, Atlanta. The music. The glamor. They ball. The strip club.” They don’t know. I done seen this city swallow mother*******.”
