Young Noble, Final Outlawz Member Personally Chosen By Tupac, D*es By $uicide At Age 47 In Atlanta

Young Noble, born Rufus Lee Cooper III, has d*ed by sui*ide at the age of 47, sources confirmed to TMZ.

The tragedy reportedly occurred Friday morning in Atlanta, with Noble suffering a self-inflicted g*nshot wound.

Best known as the final member personally recruited by Tupac Shakur to join the Outlawz in 1996, Noble contributed to four songs on “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory,” including the iconic “Hail Mary.” The album dropped just months after Tupac’s d*ath.

Beyond his work with 2Pac, Noble carved out a solo path, releasing projects like “Noble Justice” and “Son of God.” In 2021, he survived a major heart attack, writing on Instagram that he was “grateful for a second chance.” Friends say he’d recently been playing basketball and showed no signs of distress.

Prayers to his family and fans during this tragic time.
