Since Aaron Carter’s tragic death, things have only been getting worse…

And now a model has shared the controversial, but heartbreaking, last text the late singer sent her just before he died.

Many are divided over the text.

Scroll down to see it.

Aaron Carter first shot to fame in the late ’90s.

The teen pop singer was an instant hit.

Being the younger brother of the Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, he had an excellent path to stardom.

Carter began performing at the age of just 7 years old!

And went on to release his debut album 2 years later, at age 9.

But what’s even more impressive is he sold 1 million copies worldwide.

And his success skyrocketed from there.

His second album in 2000, Aaron’s Party (Come Get It), sold a whopping 3 million copies here in the US.

This led to him guest-starring in some of Nickelodeon’s hit shows, such as All That.

After his album’s success, he toured with his brother and the Backstreet Boys.

Carter later released 2 more albums, Oh Aaron, which went platinum, and Another Earthquake!, in 2002.

The singer also ventured into the world of acting…

Making an appearance on Lizzie McGuire in 2001.

His achievements at such a young age were astronomical.

But like any child star…

Carter suffered at the hands of fame.

Despite earning far more than any teen would even dream of making…

He found himself in difficult financial situations over the years that followed.

And as a result, Carter filed for bankruptcy in 2013.

But that wasn’t the only struggle he faced.

Carter went to rehab in 2017 after he was arrested for DUI and drug possession.

He even told Us Weekly he “thought [he] would die by 30.”

“Life, it was pretty tough. I dealt with a lot of trauma, a lot of loss, a lot of loneliness…

“My goal is to be the phoenix that rises from the ashes,” he told the publication at the time.

Carter also suffered from drug addiction and mental health issues.

In 2019, he revealed on the talk show The Doctors that he had been diagnosed with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

“The official diagnosis is that I suffer from multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety, and manic depression,” Carter said, as per TMZ.

Revealing that he was “prescribed to Xanax, Seroquel, Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine, Trazodone, Omeprazen.”

And sadly, his last few years were also laced with difficulties…

Not only was he estranged from his family, but his relationship with his partner, Melanie Martin also broke down.

Carter and Martin had a child together in 2021, but their on-and-off relationship was a struggle for the singer.

And in September this year, he checked into rehab for the fifth and final time.

He’s faced problems with his brother, Nick, too.

Carter decided to publicly end things with his brother after Nick issued a restraining order against him.

Nick released a public statement in which he expressed his feelings toward his brother.

“After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today,” Nick said at the time.

“In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family.”

Carter continued to exhibit alarming behavior.

Amidst all of the family drama, he unveiled a huge new tattoo of, what appears to be, the R&B legend, Rihanna.

His worrying behavior continued to include many social media tirades.

Including one in which he claimed he had found a home in Canada, and that he was leaving to get away from “foul America.”

Carter also claimed in an Instagram live that he had a secret twelve-year-old son he’s never met.

He claimed the child has been kept from him by the mother, who he named as Hayley Eisenhardt – who didn’t even have a child that age.

Carter started a month-long outpatient program at the Lionrock rehab center in Los Angeles, in an effort to get his son Prince back.

Devastatingly, just months later, news came out that he had died.

Many have paid tribute to the star following the news of his death.

Hilary Duff paid tribute to the singer, writing “For Aaron – I am deeply sorry that life was so hard for you and that you had to struggle in front of the whole world.

“You had a charm that was absolutely effervescent… boy did my teenage self-love you deeply. Sending love to your family at this time. Rest easy [heart emoji].”

Tributes quickly poured in for the singer-turned-rapper…

“Rest in peace brother. You took me through my childhood. I’m so sorry things got so hard for you and happened this way,” one fan wrote.

“Rest In Peace. You deserve the peace and quiet. The chaos is done friend,” a second added.

And a third commented: “I’m so heartbroken, I have a lifetime of memories following you. I hope you are at peace.”

And perhaps the most heartbreaking tribute of all came from Carter’s big brother, Nick.

“My heart is broken,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded.

“I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed,” Nick continued.

“Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here.

“I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you Chizz.

“Now you can finally have the peace you could never find here on earth…. I love you baby brother,” he concluded his post.

Nick also broke down on stage on Sunday during his performance with the Backstreet Boys in London, as per TMZ.

Since his death, Carter’s final social media post has left fans feeling heartbroken…

In the video posted to Instagram of him performing with CheckTheStar, he can be heard rapping the lyrics: “I’ll tell my honey I’ll be gone but it’s not for long.” You can see the heartbreaking final Instagram post here.

Carter’s fiancée, Melanie Martin, has since spoken out about his death.

Martin revealed that she knew the singer was “struggling” and that she “tried everything to help him.”

After his death went public, Martin posted a Tiktok video, which has since been deleted, of herself crying in her car.

She then also took to Instagram where she shared a photo of her and Carter to her Stories, writing: “I can’t breathe.”

The model later addressed his death in a statement, writing: “We are still in the process of accepting this unfortunate reality.”

Adding: “Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.”

“He has a very independent and strong personality, and I couldn’t help him in the way I felt he needed it.

“I only wish I had more people to help me with him. I will now be raising our son as a single mother and this is the worst day of my life, but I have to be strong for our son. I’m devastated,” she added.

The pair first got together in 2020, getting engaged the same year.

They welcomed their son last year, but their relationship was reportedly on and off throughout this time.

It has also been confirmed that Carter had made up with his brother Nick before he died.

“Tonight, we’ve got a little bit of heavy hearts,” said vocalist Kevin Richardson.

“Because we lost one of our family members yesterday. We just wanted to find a moment in our show to recognize him. Nick’s little brother, Aaron Carter, passed away yesterday, and he’s a part of our family and we thank you guys for all the love, all your well-wishes, and all your support,” he said.

The 2 siblings, who reportedly weren’t always on the best of terms, “were finally in a good place when [Aaron] died”, his rep said.

The rep told Hollywood Life: “[Aaron] was on the path to making amends with so many people in his life, and he had made amends and made peace with Nick.”

“Aaron was happy about this because he loved his brother.

“He looked up to Nick in so many ways. They were trying to make everything good again,” the rep concluded.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ they received a 911 call at 11 AM Saturday.

His family said: “We are extremely saddened and shocked to confirm the passing of Aaron Carter today [Saturday]. At the moment his cause of death is being investigated.”

Homicide detectives reported that there was no evidence of foul play…

And a representative from Carter’s team said that his cause of death was still being determined.

The devastating details of his death have been revealed…

According to TMZ, before his death cops were called for a welfare check on Friday at 2 AM, but Carter reportedly told them to leave and informed his housekeeper not to bother him.

She did as instructed and only went to check on him on Saturday morning…

After approaching his bedroom door, she heard his dog barking so opened the door to find the singer’s body in the bathtub with the jets still running.

Experts believe he had been deceased for a while at this point.

His housekeeper immediately called the cops to report that she believed he had drowned.

Upon entering the scene, cops found cans of compressed air as well as pills that could have resulted in his tragic death.

Rest in peace, Aaron Carter.
