Tupac affiliate and founding member of The Outlawz Hussein Fatal, passed away in a car accident Saturday evening.

According to Vibe, surviving members E.D.I. Mean and Young Noble took to Twitter to confirm the tragic news. "Rest in Paradise our brother Hussein Fatal he passed away in a car accident. Pray for his family & kids at this time!" Rap fans know Fatal for his appearances on the late Tupac Shakur's All Eyez on Me and Me Against the Word albums.

Fatal went on to part ways with the group and release his solo debut In The Line Of Fire, in 1998. He was also known for his verse in Tupac's "Hit 'Em Up" diss record against the late Notorious B.I.G.

Fatal reunited with his group members in 2010 and was releasing new music steadily to his core fan base.

Fans and artists like Ja Rule paid their respects to the father on social media.

Fatal was 38-years-old.

E.D.I. Mean and Young Noble tweeted information about a GoFundMe set up to pay for the rapper's funeral expenses. You can donate to the fund here
