The Grammy-nominated singer and member of the all-female hip-hop trio The Sequence was also known for the hit song “Wish I Didn’t Miss You.”
She was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. She was 63.
About 4 a.m., the vehicle she was riding in back to Atlanta from Alabama “flipped over and was subsequently hit by a big rig,” music producer and Stone’s longtime manager Walter Millsap III told The Associated Press in an email.
Everyone else in the cargo van survived except Stone, he said.
