She wrote: Related: Offset Says He’s ‘Missing Everything’ About Takeoff In Tribute To Late Rapper Irene’s cause of death is unknown at this time, but the rep mentioned it will be released once the “information is available.” Judith also lamented in the post: And when someone asked in the comments if it was “true” that Irene died, the publicist responded that she and the musician’s business manager found out “a few hours ago”: In case you didn’t know, Irene’s breakout moment came when she starred as Coco Hernandez in the 1980 musical movie Fame and sang the title track and Out Here on My Own.
