Police say that Petty Levels, an influential person, was found dead in Tampa, Florida, earlier this month. He was 23 years old when she died. Her real name was Mia Armaj Bennett and she was a rapper from Philadelphia.
At around 1:30 pm, police were called to Northwest Tampa, close to the airport, because someone said they had found a body.
A police spokesperson told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the person who died was later identified as Bennett. Her death had “no initial signs to suggest that foul play was a factor,” the spokesperson said. While the investigation is still going on, the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet said what killed her or how she died. But after rumors spread on social media that she had died in Philadelphia, a family member told fans not to guess about her death. The anonymous family member told the Inquirer, “All of these claims and comments are not true.”“We don’t even know exactly what happened so if everybody could just please bear with everybody on this subject, I’m begging you, please our family is devastated.” As a high school student, Bennett became famous on social media by posting short videos of herself dancing, traveling, and having a great time. A few years later, in 2018, she began making short rap videos, which helped her fan base grow to the point where she could release her own music.
Bennett was well-known for rapping with Latto on Fredo Bang’s song “Freak.” Her own songs, like “Ain’t It” and “Malibu,” were also released. Even though she was nervous about making the jump from Instagram to the music world, the musician had high hopes for the future. In 2019, Bennett talked to SayCheeseTV and said, “Just know that Petty Levels will not just be an Instagram name.” “Sooner or later it will be on billboards, it will be on your playlists, it will be on the radio, it will be everywhere you go.” A musician and Instagram influencer with over a million followers has been getting a lot of tributes.
