Veteran rapper and actor Saafir (Reggie Gibson) has passed away at 54, announced by friend and Golden State Project groupmate Xzibit on Instagram.
Xzibit shared a heartfelt tribute: “I can’t believe I’m writing this right now, but don’t know what else to do at the moment. Approximately at 8:45 am this morning, my brother Reggie known to the world as Saafir passed away. We have so much history I can’t even explain what I’m feeling right now. We surrounded him and let him know how much we loved him. He can rest now.”
He continued: “Friends, Family, everyone that rocked with us from the Hip Hop community, if you could be so solid and reach out for @chopblack his younger brother, and @lilsaafir his son, the family really needs to be supported during this time. That’s all I have right now. My soul is crushed.”
