Natina Reed
*(Via MTV News) – Natina Reed of late-’90s girl group Blaque was killed early Saturday (October 27) in Atlanta in a hit-and-run accident as she was crossing the street, according to tweets from those close to her, including group member Brandi Williams.
Reed is best known as one-third of the Atlanta-based girl act, who achieved success for their hits “808″ and “Bring It All to Me,” which featured ‘NSYNC’s JC Chasez. The rapper also parlayed her musical success into an acting career, starring in the 2000 hit comedy “Bring It On” along with her group members.
Reed would have turned 33 on Sunday. She was a protégé of the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who also left behind a girl group, TLC, in 2002.
Reed is survived by her 10-year-old son, Tren Brown, with rapper Kurupt.

Karrupt and Natina
Sad news indeed.This story I found says it was not a hit and run.Sister seemed troubled if what is online is correct.Too bad that she didnt get the help she may have needed as she was talented and more importantly leaves behind a now motherless son.

bad job of copying and pasting on my part(re the Gary Collins part.)
So sad, R.I.P.
This is soo sad to hear. I loved the song “Bring It All To Me”. My condolences to the family.
Condolences to the family and Natina’s band mates. RIP
>Nylaconnect: You say she seemed troubled… perhaps you have seen something I have not. What are you referring to?
The reports that I read was:
She was working on a Rap album, new movie, reunion with her group.
While she was not killed by a hit-and-run, she was hit by a car and killed, as she was crossing… or walking alongside the road. There are no additional witnesses, and it was kind of dark in the area. In the area where she lost her life the traffic moves at highway speeds.
My sincere condolences to her family.
Google her and you will see what I am speaking about,it’s out there.
