The statement reads: “With profound sadness, WorldStarHipHop and its employees, state that Lee O’Denat, known as ‘Q’, the founder, leader and genius behind the website and brand has passed in San Diego”.
“Q was a brilliant businessman who championed urban culture, ultimately creating the largest hip hop website in the world”, it continues. “But more than that, he was a devoted father and one of the nicest, most generous persons to ever grace this planet. We will miss his hearty laugh and warm spirit. WorldStarHipHop will continue in its various endeavors. We ask that you remember Q in your prayers and raise a toast to the sky in his name”.
