Tragedy struck the hip-hop community on Saturday as American rapper Young Noble, a member of Tupac Shakur’s iconic rap group Outlawz, reportedly died by suicide at the age of 47.
The news was announced by fellow Outlawz member E.D.I. Mean, who took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking update. In his emotional post, E.D.I. revealed that his “brother and partner of over 30 years” took his own life that morning.
He also used the moment to draw attention to the growing issue of mental illness and urged people to check on their loved ones.
“Rest in Power Young Noble. Mental illness is real. CHECK ON YOUR FOLKS,” he wrote, a message that has since been widely reshared by fans and celebrities. Even Tupac’s official page paid tribute by resharing the announcement, further confirming the devastating news.
Young Noble, born Rufus Cooper III, joined the Outlawz in the mid-1990s, shortly before the death of Tupac. He was known for his powerful verses, deep loyalty to Tupac’s legacy, and his contributions to keeping the spirit of the late rapper alive through music.
His sudden death has sent shockwaves through fans of classic hip-hop and the global rap community, reigniting conversations about the mental health crisis, especially among Black men and artists in the entertainment industry.
Tributes have poured in from fellow musicians, fans, and mental health advocates who have urged the public to take mental wellness seriously.
As the industry mourns this painful loss, Young Noble’s legacy as a key member of one of hip-hop’s most legendary groups will not be forgotten. His contributions to music and his role in shaping the post-Tupac era of rap remain etched in history.
