RIP: Hip-Hop Community Mourns Death of John Singleton, of Movies “Boyz N the Hood,” “Hustle & Flow”; Dies at 51

Celebrities and the hip-hop community alike are mourning the death of film director and producer John Singleton, best known for directing the movie Boyz n the Hood (1991), just one of his many successful movies during his film career, which included being a producer of the Memphis movie Hustle & Flow, directed by Craig Brewer.

Singleton, 51, was reportedly checked into a hospital after experiencing weakness in his legs following returning to the US from a trip to Costa Rica.

Singleton was reportedly suffering a stroke and was placed under intensive care following the stroke on April 17, 2019, which led to many complications afterwards.

Following being placed under intensive care on April 17, Singleton allegedly fell into a coma on April 25, even though his daughter reportedly believed otherwise.

Reports claim Singleton’s daughter Cleopatra Singleton, 19, disputed the coma report claiming that doctors did not “have a concrete diagnosis.”

Singleton would eventually be taken off life support and died on April 29, 2019.

Ever since the announcement of the Los Angeles, California native’s death, the hip hop community has been reacting over social media.
