Mack, who launched to hip-hop acclaim for the best-selling summer hit “Flava in Ya Ear” in 1994, died of heart failure at a hospital near his Walterboro, S.C., home Monday.

“God bless my friend. He was a good friend of mine,” said Alvin Toney, who produced Mack’s “Project: Funk Da World.”

He visited Mack in South Carolina last week to film a documentary.

“He was prepared for whatever comes, to go home to the Lord,” Toney said. “He was prepared to do that. He wasn’t scared. He was ready.”

TMZ reports that the relationship came to a close amicably, but that the rap superstars will not be hanging out as friends. Nevertheless, the two are still following each other on Instagram as of press time. 

It seemed like the relationship was still going strong last month, when Nasty Nas celebrated Nicki as a “queen” in honor of her birthday. “Happy Birthday To The QUEEN OF NY / HIP HOP @nickiminaj,” he wrote.

Now, the multifaceted stars are set to continue their various solo projects. Nicki is currently crafting her next album, while Nas is set to focus on his Sweet Chick restaurant empire. He is also expected to release a long-awaited solo album at some point this year.
