The extremely unfortunate passing of singer/actress Natina Reed shocked many this weekend. She was a member of 90’s girl group, Blaque, best known for her verse in “808” and role in movie Bring It On with Gabrielle Union.
Her fellow group mates Brandi Williams and Shamari Fears-Devoe released a statement:
On Behalf of Blaque and the entire Left Eye Music Family,
“We are devastated by the loss of our group member, sister and friend Natina Reed. Because of the enormous support of Blaque fans and our love for each another, Blaque officially reunited this fall and we were in the process of working on a new album and a reality show.
Natina continuously embodied the pioneering spirit of Blaque and her undeniable creativity touched the hearts of fans everywhere. Natina was a mother, sister, accomplished songwriter, artist and friend. We ask for your prayers at this time for Natina’s family. She will forever be missed and her global influence eternally felt. We thank God for the experiences we shared.”
Reed passed one day before her 33rd birthday and is survived by ten-year-old son Tren Brown, whose father is Kurupt. She was the protege of TLC’s Lisa “Lefteye” Lopes who also died in a car accident.
Her family has not yet released a statement.
Prayers and condolences for her family and loved ones.
Atlanta police are still investigating the details of the accident.
