Police and fire officials confirmed a 21-year-old man was transported from the airport to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Chicago police said he experienced a “medical emergency”.
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said a man experienced cardiac arrest and was transported to a hospital from a Midway hanger away from the main terminal where private planes land.
A statement from Interscope Geffen A&M Records said: “Juice made a profound impact on the world in such a short period of time.
“He was a gentle soul, whose creativity knew no bounds, an exceptional human being and artist who loved and cared for his fans above everything else.
“To lose someone so kind and so close to our hearts is devastating. Our thoughts are with Juice’s family and friends, everyone at his label Grade A, and his millions of fans around the world.”
