Pimp C’s Mother Speaks On His Passing

Thursday, December 6, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Pimp CThe mother of late rapper Pimp C has come forward to speak on the sudden passing of her son this past Tuesday.

“Actually, we have very little idea of what happened,” said Weslyn “Mama Wes” Monroe to KFDM News in Port Arthur, Texas.

“C’s business manager found his body in his hotel room in Los Angeles and we know he died in his sleep. Past that, we don’t know anything.

“This is a terrible shock. Mama is just a little tougher than most, but I break too.”

Mrs. Monroe added that she has received support from family, friends, and several hip-hop artists who were close to Pimp C.

“The phone won’t stop ringing,” she said. “It feels good, if anything can feel good now.”

Pimp C, born Chad Butler, was found dead on Tuesday morning at the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Strip.

Investigators have yet to determine the cause of death, but say there are no signs of foul play. According to a coroner’s early reports, it may have been due to natural causes.

My prayers are with family and friends of pimp c. I have listen to ugk since i was a teen. The rap game has lost one of the south's legendary rappers. I will continue to support bun b in whatever he does as i have in the past. My boi just step foot on ground and he gone. God dont make no mistakes and when your work here on earth is done. You will take your rightful place in heaven. May god be with your family and loyal friends.

Theres no such thing as natural causes. My guess is maybe years of fast living, eating the wrong type of foods, maybe if some of the drugs he had done in the past more then likely effected his heart. Even if he wasnt doing the drugs and drinkin anymore alot of the effects are irreversable and still continue to damage the heart, lungs, kidneys and liver. All it takes is one bad pill, that one xtra cup of lean, that very last blunt, that one bad line of powder.

I would just like to say rest in peace pimp c u were a underground legend and a hip hop mogul. Bun-b please hold you head up high and continue on to make that good classic southern music. And to mrs. Monroe i want u to know that ur son left a big impression on the world. I dont know him personally but he showed me that life is not all about how much money u have. It's about what u know and how far u willing to go to accomplish ur goals. He went from the streets, through the states system, then to our radio airwaves. That is a prime example of being able to make it out the hood. And from that i am thankful to have learned such a great deal from the under ground kings music. He will forever be in my heart and the hearts of his followers. Your son will go down in history as a black man who came from nothing to something. And that gives people like a since of motivation to stand for something in this cold hearted world. My deepest apoloigies for ur lost . He may be gone but through his music he will live on.

You really can die of natural causes at any time. Sure, how he lived may have contributed but doesn't necessarily means thats why he died. Darryl kile, the st louis cardinals pitcher in the early 2000s died in his sleep just hours before he was supposed to pitch. He was just in his early 30s and a professional athlete. It happens. Rip

R.i.p pimp c!!!!! a true rap star, and always the trillest!!!!! you'll be missed...
Posted by blazinvirgo1
I think that she should've really did that because he needs to be noticed still even after pimp-c's death because without him there wouldn't be anybody the rap gang now. And i think that he is an inspiration to everybody .and when i seen that they was talking about him on 106andpark i was like crying because i didnt know that something like that would happen like that for real especially as talented as he was .he will be for ever missed .my prayers are with him and his family .

"when they ask who's ur daddy they gonna say pimp c" words from a real man who really went from the bottom to the top "die young oh well i lived a good life" "just put me in the wood grain and rang tha bell" i never got a chance to meet you but i damn sure felt you. Pimp c is a perfect example of a really free individual because i can tell he spoke and dimenstrated what he really felt from his heart and his mind. He represented his kind my kind and tha real........bun you held your partner down i trully admire that and mama monroe god bless you baby your his t lady and he's watching from above to his wife i'm sorry for you also and for you hating ass pimps all across tha bubble who felt it was yalls duty to open yalls mouth talking down sayin pimp c wasnt a real pi i bet my top Bia'ch that if tha man really wanted to he could knock each and every one of yalls outta pocket Bia'ches that yall tryin to maintain it wouldnt be a thang he would serve yall the news and blow a fuse
