The 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' community is mourning the death of Khadiyah "KD" Lewis, who died at age 44.
Her brother, Jamaal Lewis, confirmed her death on Facebook through an emotional tribute.
"Rest In Peace To My Sister Khadiyah Lewis, She Was The Best."
According to reports online, Lewis's family said the cause of her death will not be discussed, but has requested that donations be made to mental health and suicide prevention organisations in lieu of flowers.
Lewis first graced screens in season 3 of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" as rapper Yung Joc's real estate agent and assistant.
Over the course of her appearances, her professional relationship with Joc turned into a romantic one.
Beyond being a reality TV star, Lewis was an entrepreneur. She owned and managed a real estate investment firm, a consulting agency and a financial services company.
As news of her passing spread, heartfelt tributes poured in from family, friends, and former colleagues.
Her brother, Elijah Inegbedion, expressed his grief, sharing: "Been at a loss for words for some days now. And to think that I'll ever have the words to describe the person you've been and the legacy that you left behind would be erroneous."
He continued, 'Long Live my sister Khadiyah Lewis. You left behind a legacy most individuals can only dream of."
