Ice T Mourns His Buddy Ganxsta Ridd From Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. (R.I.P.)

The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed nearly 280,000 lives in the United States, according to the most recent data from the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).

Of course, the Hip Hop community isn’t immune and the virus has already taken Fred The Godson and New Orleans’ DJ Black N Mild, while threatening the lives of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Geto Boys’ Scarface, to name a few.

On Saturday (December 5), Ice-T revealed Ganxsta Ridd of the first Samoan Hip Hop group Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. has also succumbed to the disease.

“I just woke up to the terrible news,” he tweeted. “My very close homie ‘Ganxsta Rid’ of Boo-Yaa Tribe passed away yesterday from Covid…so sad. My love and condolences go out to the family.”

Blackout Hip Hop is sending out condolences to the family, friends & fans of Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.
