Ludacris has said Nate Dogg's death will leave a “void” in the heart of hip-hop.
The rapper, most famed for his hit 'Regulate' with Warren G, died on Tuesday (March 15) at the age of 41. A cause of death has not been released.
Ludacris and Nate Dogg most famously worked together on the 2001 song 'Area Codes'.
“There is a certain void in hip hop's heart that can never be filled,” Ludacris told his followers on Twitter.
“Glad we got to make history together.”
Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and The Game, all of whom had collaborated with Nate Dogg, have paid tribute to the star, who had been battling health issues since suffering two major strokes.
