The family released a statement saying: "We are overwhelmed by the generous
outpouring of love, condolences and support from family members, friends,
fans and the many well-wishers.
"We thank you for your prayers and hope you will understand our need for

death."
At the time, his father was critically ill in hospital.
Ludacris - real name Chris Bridges - added backstage. "He is the reason I am
in this music field today. When I was young, how many different genres of
different music he used to play for me. So you know, my appreciation for
music definitely goes to him and that's why I dedicated my award to him."
