From Instagram:
Today I got some of the worst and unexpected news imaginable. My brother and partner for over 30 years took his life this morning. Rest in Power Rufus Young Noble Cooper. I obviously am in no shape to talk about this right now so PLEASE give his family and I some time to process this. Mental illness is a real battle being fought by so many.

He relocated to New Jersey in grade school, meeting future Outlawz members, Hussein Fatal and Yaki Kadafi, and moved back to California as a teenager.
