Battle Rapper Lotto, Who Beat Eminem in ‘8 Mile,’ Dead at 46

[RadaMillz]

"NASHAWN BREEDLOVE, THE battle rapper known as Lotto, who appeared alongside Eminem in 8 Mile, has died. He was 46.

Breedlove’s mother, Patricia, confirmed her son’s death on Facebook, writing, “It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of my beloved son Nashawn Breedlove’s passing. Many of you knew him by his alias ‘Lotto, ox,’ a name that echoed his resilience and determination. Nashawn was a rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. No one could deny his talent.”

She continued: “Nashawn’s departure from this world has left an immense void in my life, one that words cannot fully express. I can’t put into words the pain and hurt that I feel. He was not just my son; he was a remarkable man whose character and strength inspired all who crossed his path.”

A cause of death was not given.

Breedlove played a key role in 8 Mile, facing off against Eminem’s character B-Rabbit in the second round of the film’s final freestyle competition. Lotto drops a scathing verse that nearly knocks B-Rabbit out of the contest with bars like, “I’ll spit a racial slur, honkey, sue me/This shyt is a horror flick, but a Black guy doesn’t die in this movie,” and “I feel bad but I gotta murder that dude from Leave It to Beaver.”

I ain't even know he was actually a rapper, I thought he was just a random dude that hired to be an actor for a small part role.
