A source confirms his death, and it was also reported by TMZ. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said that suspicious death took place at the address of Carter’s home in Lancaster, California, but could not confirm the identity.
Representatives for Carter and his brother did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
His follow-up album, Aaron’s Party (Come and Get It), was released in September 2000 and went triple platinum. It featured the singles “I Want Candy,” “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)” and “That’s How I Beat Shaq,” and he supported the album as an opening act for Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears on the Oops!… I Did It Again Tour.
Carter dabbled in acting, appearing on shows including Lizzie McGuire and 7th Heaven. He made his Broadway debut in 2001 as JoJo the Who in Seussical the Musical and later had a long run as a castmember of the off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks.
He starred alongside Nick and their siblings B.J., Aaron, Leslie and Angel Carter on the E! unscripted series House of Carters in 2006. Leslie died of a drug overdose in January 2012 at the age of 25.
Other television credits included competing on the 2009 season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, finishing in fifth place, and on the Food Network cooking battle series Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off in 2012.
Carter was a gossip-site fixture and known for headlines surrounding his personal life, dating back to his early years as a teen heartthrob. He welcomed son Prince with Melanie Martin in November 2021.
He has had multiple rehab stays, most recently entering earlier this year in an effort to regain custody of his son Prince. He had previously entered rehab back in 2017 following an arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana charges.
