Reports confirm that rapper and singer Natina Reed was killed by a hit-and-run driver. The Atlanta music community is mourning the death of the 32-year-old best known as a former member of the R&B group Blaque.
Initial reports state, Reed was killed early Saturday morning, after being struck by a driver while crossing the street in Atlanta, GA. The young artist was also the protégée of TLC rapper Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who ironically met her own tragic death in a car accident in April 2002.
