Rapper and founding member of D4L, Shawty Lo, was tragically killed in a car accident Wednesday morning.
His manager Johnny Cabbell confirmed along with Headkrack from The Rickey Smiley Morning Show that the “Dey Know” rapper Lo succumbed to injuries.
Fulton County police also confirmed that this was a single car accident and not a hit-and-run as previously reported.
New details from AJC report that his white Audi was traveling on I-285 around 2:20am when it went over a guard rail, hit two trees and caught fire. Shawty Lo was ejected from the vehicle and killed.
Two other people were injured and taken to the hospital.
He was a consistent friend to the station and performed at several of our big shows annually.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. The world has lost a great man and father.
