A well-known rapper passed out during a takeover of a morning radio show and died suddenly at the age of 39. People in Texas and the rest of the South knew Justin “BeatKing” Riley for how he changed music in the early 2000s.
TMZ says the Houston native was taken to the hospital right away after passing out at the Urban One/Radio One station because of a pulmonary embolism.
This is what happens when a blood clot blocks a lung blood vessel.
He died in a hospital in Houston, Texas, with his two daughters by his side. His manager, Tasha Felder, shared the sad news on Instagram, which made my heart hurt.
