Nashawn Breedlove has sadly passed away.
The star, best known for battle-rapping Eminem in the movie 8 Mile, has died at the age of 46.
A family member tells TMZ he died in his sleep Sunday (September 24) at his home in New Jersey.
A cause of death has not yet been publicly revealed.
Nashawn played Lotto in the 2002 movie, loosely based on Eminem‘s life. He had a standout role in a scene in which his character battled Eminem‘s B-Rabbit in a rap battle.
“I feel bad I gotta murder that dude from Leave it to Beaver,” he memorably declares.
He previously rapped under the name OX, and featured on the soundtrack for the 2001 movie The Wash with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
