China Walker of Cam & China died at 30 after a private two-year battle with ovarian cancer, her sister Cam announced in an emotional Instagram tribute.
China Walker, one-half of the Cam & China rap duo from Inglewood, has died at age 30 following a private two-year fight with a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.
The news was announced on Wednesday, July 2, by her twin sister and groupmate Cam Walker in a heartfelt Instagram post. The pair had kept China’s diagnosis out of the public eye until her death.
“Most don’t know, China has been fighting a rare, aggressive Ovarian Cancer for 2 years,” Cam wrote. “Tonight, she transitioned and is now resting peacefully. Give me time to grieve in peace, but know she loved all our supporters.”
Cam also posted a photo of the two sisters together, along with a message urging people to stay connected with their loved ones.
“Check on yo people, you never know what they are going thru until it’s too late,” she added.
The duo first gained attention in 2016 with their self-titled EP, which showcased their lyrical chemistry. The loss also highlights the devastating impact of ovarian cancer, a disease that often goes undetected until its later stages.
According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, and early detection remains difficult due to vague symptoms.
Cam has not shared any further details about memorial plans or future music, asking for privacy during this time.
