Hip-hopper Soulja Boy, whose real name is Deandre Cortez Way, is telling the world that his little brother has died.
"At home crying my eyes out I can't believe my Lil bro is gone," the Atlanta artist said on his Twitter account around noon Monday.
Deion O'Neal Jenkins, 15, died in a car crash in Tallahatchie County, Miss., on Sunday night, according to an obituary to run Wednesday in the Sun-Sentinel, the weekly newspaper there.
The obituary says services are being handled by the Clark-Williams Funeral Home in nearby Grenada. The funeral home confirmed that Deion died and said visitation is scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The boy's mother and relatives delivered the funeral announcement, which noted that Deion was the younger brother of Soulja Boy of Atlanta.
