WorldStarHipHop founder Lee O’Denat — known as “Q” — has died … TMZ has learned. We’re told Q, the CEO of WorldStar and its face, died in his sleep Monday night. Q founded the premiere hip-hop website in 2005 when he started posting mixtapes, which gradually progressed into a mash-up of hip-hop videos, fight clips and other outrageous camera footage. (TMZ)
Fans immediately rushed to Q’s Instagram page with rest in peace messages.
A couple years ago, Q teamed up with music mogul LL Cool J for a back to school New York event.
Hundreds of Queens parents and kids turned out for a very special event: the 3rd annual Worldstar Foundation Back to School Giveaway. The line was very long but everyone waited patiently for their turn to get free book bags, school supplies, and an autograph from hip hop, TV and film superstar LL Cool J. (WSHH)
