Condolences go out to Outkast rapper and actor Andre 3000 and his loved ones. According to a new report, the rapper’s father passed away on Wednesday. Apparently the death was caused by a heart attack. Blogger Straight From the A writes:

 
 
 
 

While details are sketchy, a source close to the talented artist confirmed that Dre’s biological father, Lawrence Walker, died of an apparent heart attack today.

Walker had been reportedly out chopping wood for the fireplace and when he returned indoors, he suffered the attack.

 

 

As we recently reported, Andre 3000’s mother also passed away last May.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Andre 3000 and his family during such a tragic time.

  1. What makes this even sadder is he just lost his mom last year. This is so crazy and heartbreaking. I’ll keep him in my prayers.
