A silver BMW was traveling the wrong way, westbound in the eastbound lanes, on the freeway at the above address and struck a silver Tesla Cybertruck head on. The impact caused the BMW to catch fire and the Tesla to strike a blue Freightliner 18-wheeler.<\/em><\/p>\nChamp was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition\u2026 where he was later pronounced dead. <\/p>\n
The unidentified male BMW driver was pronounced dead on the scene and the truck driver was not injured, the announcement added.<\/p>\n
An autopsy will be performed to \u201cdetermine if impairment played a role\u201d in the accident, police told affiliated KHOU after the tragic development was made public.<\/p>\nMasika Kalysha attends BET Awards Media House at Quixote Studios West Hollywood on June 23, 2023 in West Hollywood, California.

On Tuesday, Kalysha seemingly alluded to Champ\u2019s passing in a post via her X account. <\/p>\n
\u201cGod woke me up at 2:00am\u2026 I couldn\u2019t sleep,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI didn\u2019t know why. Jesus Christ I just received the worse news of my life. Pray for me and my kids please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hours later, the reality star shared the following statement with The Shade Room:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is with profound sadness that I confirm the news of the tragic and unexpected passing of my spouse and father of my beautiful daughters, Jamar Champ.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring this incredibly challenging time, I kindly ask for respect and understanding as our family comes together to support one another and honor his memory.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former VH1 personalities got married in 2001, but separated two years later. They shared a three-year old daughter named Amari.<\/p>\nMasika Kalysha attends Interscope and Flipper\u2019s Roller Boogie Palace celebrate Dr. Dre\u2019s \u201cThe Chronic\u201d at Hollywood Palladium on February 4, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

In late 2023, Kalysha took to this same platform and told followers:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only reason I\u2019m not fully divorced is because, well, that\u2019s on the way. There\u2019s no reason for me to share my personal business. But when other people try to paint a picture in order for them to get attention off of the life I have created for myself by myself \u2014 it\u2019s just asinine and it\u2019s sad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no reason to discuss anything else further. Just know that your girl is happier than she\u2019s ever been. There is absolutely nothing worse than being with a narcissist. First and last experience with a narcissist ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Jamar Champ. May he rest in peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reading Time: 3 minutes Horrible new this week out of the world of reality television: Jamar Champ, the estranged husband of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast member Masika Kalysha, was killed in Houston on Tuesday after his Tesla Cybertuck was hit head on by a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction on the freeway.
