Juice WRLD‘s team is reportedly planning to create a new mural honoring the late rapper after the original artwork was covered up in his hometown.
According toTMZ, Juice’s manager Peter Jideonwo relayed that plans are already in motion to paint another mural in Chicago, which had become a cultural landmark in the city prior to being painted over.

Jideonwo explained their team still has no idea who covered the mural and the city’s Street Sanitation Department even took a paint test to prove they weren’t the culprits.
They could even go a step further with an extensive mural that also comes with some form of protection from outsiders. The idea of a statue is also on the table.
Corey Pane crafted the original mural piece in July 2020, which he was commissioned for $50,000 and fans have flooded his comment section hoping he would redo it again.

Juice WRLD suffered a seizure following a private flight from California to Chicago’s Midway International Airport on December 8, 2019 when the “Lucid Dreams” hitmaker was rushed by paramedics to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill., where he was pronounced dead.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Juice WRLD’s cause of death to be an accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine.
Fans of Juice in the Oklahoma City area can check out a brand new mural that recently went up next to the Grade A Dispensary storefront.
Juice’s estate is still putting the finishing touches on his final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, which will serve as a follow-up to 2021’s Fighting Demons.
“The Last Juice WRLD Album is in the works,” Lil Bibby wrote to Instagram in February. “We want this album to feel like a Celebration/Party! Let’s celebrate the life of Juice [pray hands, balloon and dove emojis]. “No more mourning, I want everyone that Juice loved while he was here to help celebrate, especially his fans who he loved!”

He continued: “You guys have been the best fans an artist can have (Minus the death threats to Bibby) [laughing, pray hands and heart emojis]. I’m not gonna complain but i’ll jus say this is not easy. We miss you, We love you 999 til the world ends [juice box and world emojis].”
