Roommates, we are sending our deepest condolences to hip-hop pioneer Eric B. following the news of his daughter’s passing.
According to Sister2Sister, Erica Supreme Barrier, 28, was left in critical condition Sunday morning after being involved in a car accident in Connecticut. An 18 wheeler reportedly rolled over her vehicle and left her with severe neck and spine fractures, as well as other life-threatening injuries.
On Tuesday, Eric B. took to social media to mourn the loss of his daughter. He posted a video of the two of them on stage together, and simply captioned the video with a heart.
Rakim also confirmed Erica’s passing and asked everyone to keep the family in prayer. He said, “Deepest of condolences to my brother Eric B. and all of the extended family. This evening, his daughter Erica passed on after sustaining injuries in an automobile accident. Erica was the brightest of stars and while we miss her physical form greatly, we will celebrate her life and her energy eternally. Please put a blessing in the air.”
Other hip-hop greats such as Nas and YoYo also offered their condolences during this difficult time.
We continue to send our condolences to Eric B. and his family during this time.
