Hip-hop superstar Jay-Z has been left heartbroken after his nephew died in a car crash. .
Colleek D. Luckie died in road accident last Tuesday (June 28) while a friend, Roscoe G. Neely, escaped with minor injuries.
According to sources, the car the pair were travelling in swerved across the road into oncoming traffic crashing head on into a tractor.
After the collision the vehicle struck a telephone pole and careered 300ft through a field.
The vehicle was a £20000 Chrysler 300, which the Def Jam President had bought as a graduation gift for 18-year-old Colleek.
Jay-Z often spoke of his nephews through his music in songs like 'U Don't Know', 'Sunshine' and 'Anything'.
In a 2003 interview with MTV, Jay-Z told reporters, "I carry my nephews like my sons, always have and they have filled that void for me".
Bit the tragedy did not stop Jay-Z bravely making a guest appearance at Philadelphia's Live 8 concert on Saturday (02-05-05).
The crowd screamed, "Hova! Hova!" as rockers Linkin Park took the stage, hoping the rapper would join the band And Jay-Z's appearance sent the 100000 crowd wild, with almost everyone throwing up the 'Roc-A-Fella' triangle hand sign to greet him.
