The actor from the movie “8 Mile” who fought Eminem has allegedly died

Actor Nashawn Breedlove, who portrayed Lotto in the 2002 battle rap movie 8 Mile, is said to have died.

Mickey Factz, who offered the actor respect on social media on Monday (September 25), was the one to break the news of his passing.

One among the few rappers to defeat Eminem, RIP from 8 Mile Lotto whom his buddies affectionately referred to as OX,” he wrote. “Your persistence and assertiveness will be missed.”

In replying to Mickey’s post, battle rapper Daylyt also praised the 8 Mile star, stating: “The first MC that was ever stolen off his victory in a rap battle. Rip Lotto.”

In the comments area, Pete Rock, Onyx, and Grafh also responded to Breedlove’s passing.

There is still little other information available about his passing. Breedlove’s family or any of his own social media accounts have not yet disclosed the news.
