Warren G has broken his silence over the death of close friend Nate Dogg, revealing his passing has been "a crushing blow" to himself and other artists of the hip-hop world.
As we previously reported, the West Coast singer passed away last week after a series of complications he suffered from having strokes in both 2007 and 2008. He was just 41-years old.
Speaking to our US Team about Nate Dogg's death, Warren G - who collaborated with the late star on hit tune Regulate - recalled the moment he heard that Dogg had died.
Warren explained: "We had got the word from his family on what was going on, and it was just a crushing blow for us,"
"Just from going to see him and lifting his spirits up when he was in therapy, and stuff like that, it's just crazy for that to happen. And I still don't believe it, you know what I'm saying?"
The rapper, who performed a touching Nate Dogg tribute with Snoop Dogg and P Diddy at last weekend's SXSW festival, also claimed he was "touched" by the support he received at the show.
He continued: "It means a lot, you know, because this is something that's being done for a person that we really love. It's deeper than music, that's a brother to us, to me and Kurupt and Snoop and Daz... it's really deeper than that,"
Warren G added: "I mean, like, I'm not a psychic or a genie or a gypsy or anything, but I know deep down in my heart he's around us, he's with us... he's with us in spirit. Everything we do, he's a part of it."
Nate Dogg's funeral is expected to take place this Saturday, with a ceremony preceding the event at the Long Beach Airport and according to a family friend, will be open to fans.
The following day, a memorial benefit is allegedly being planned at the Los Angeles Convention Centre hosted by DJ Quik.
