Hip-hop artiste Xtatic, is mourning the loss of her father.
The Begani hitmaker shared the heartbreaking news on X (formerly Twitter), opening up about her grief in a deeply personal post that has since moved fans and fellow artists alike.
Posting an image of her father in his younger years, Xtatic revealed the exact moment he passed away, writing:
“I’ve been saying death has been thick in the air lately with this looming fear of it arriving at my doorstep and today at 20:56 it did, sadly. Rest Easy Pops.”
The rapper later shared another touching photo of her parents from their youth, revealing that both her mother and father have now passed away.
She explained that her mother had died when she was in her twenties, and now, in her thirties, she has lost her father too.
“Being in my 20s and 30s and seeing them both go in the most horrendous way… I need ease please,” she wrote.
Xtatic had previously announced the death of her mother in May 2015, marking another difficult chapter in her personal journey.
While the family has not disclosed the cause of her father’s death, the news has drawn an outpouring of condolences from fans and fellow musicians.
