We are saddened to report that Natina Reed, formerly of the group Blaque, has passed away. According to unconfirmed reports and twitter, she was involved in a hit-and-run early this morning, just a day before her 33rd birthday. She is survived by a son fathered by rapper Kurupt.
Natina rose to fame as part of the Atlanta-based group Blaque in 1999 with the release of their debut single, “808″. She was the protege of the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes from TLC who signed the group to her production company, Left Eye Productions. She also starred in the film “Bring It On” alongside Gabrielle Union in 2000.
I read about this unfortunate news earlier, I feel bad for her 11 year old son. It's also ironic because it was Left Eye who introduced her to the group and she too was sadly killed in a car accident.

My heart really hurts right now. I loved them SO much, and they were also working on their 4th album like TLC was with 3D. This is horrible.
I hope they find who did this and Bring It All was my jam back in the day r.i.p.
How terrible! RIP to such a beautiful young lady. I loved her spunk, her attitude. RIP.
