I’ve confirmed it with 2 reliable sources. Its true. Pimp C is gone. He was only 33 years old. True legend in the game. Condolences to his family, to Bun B, to his fans.

First Spice 1 gets shot and almost killed yesterday. Now this? What the f–k is going on?

TMZ is reporting:

“Pimp C, real name Chad Butler — and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.

L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.”
