Shawty Lo killed in car crash after leaving strip club

Rapper leaves behind 11 children by 10 different women

Rapper Shawty Lo has been killed in a car crash.

The 40-year-old singer was ejected from his car when he hit two trees after leaving a strip club in Atlanta early Wednesday morning.

Just hours earlier the musician, whose real name is Carlos Walker, had posted X-rated photos of strippers at gentleman’s club he was partying at.

Two other people in the car were injured and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

The singer, who grew up in Georgia, leaves behind 11 children from 10 different mothers.

He is best know for his song Dey Know and for founding the group D4L that produced the single Laffy Taffy.

During the crash the singer was driving a white 2016 Audi when his car went out of control.

According to his official Twitter account, he was on the I-285 in south Fulton County.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Early reports suggested the accident was a hit and run.

But when police arrived on scene they discovered there was only one car involved.

‘It has been confirmed now that it was a single car accident,’ a Fulton police spokeswoman said.

According to police, a white Audi went over a guardrail, hit two trees and burst into flames.

Just hours before posted videos of himself enjoying the strip club with his sunglasses and a gold chain on.

In 2013 Lo nearly starred in a reality show All My Babies’ Mamas for the Oxygen network about his blended family that includes 11 children with 10 women.

But the show was canceled.

In 2008, he was named Rookie of the Year at the BET Awards.
