Taking to Instagram, fellow YouTuber Coletheman wrote: “My good friend @P2istheName has passed away… wow.

“May he rest in peace. This breaks my heart.”

Other fans shared their support, with one writing: “This man was my childhood, I still can’t believe it’s is real. May he rest in peace.”

Another wrote: “Never been touched by a celebrity’s death like this one.”

P2istheName lasted posted two weeks ago, and had previously spoken of plans to move to Atlanta from his hometown of LA.

He rose to fame with videos of himself playing NBA 2K and Fortnite, before expanding to general explainers of popular video games, dubbed “Let’s Plays”.

He also had his own streetwear brand DontMindUs.

Aside from gaming, P2istheName gave fans a glimpse into his personal life with vlogs showing “a day in the life of a young black millionaire” in L.A.
