Grammy-nominated Neo-Soul and R&B legend Angie Stone tragically lost her life in a car accident on March 1, 2025. However, growing skepticism surrounds the case due to a lack of publicly available details.

According to some reports, Angie Stone and eight other passengers were traveling back to Atlanta from Montgomery, Alabama after her performance at the Mobile-Area Mardi Gras Association’s Grand Marshal’s Ball. Tragedy struck when their Sprinter van reportedly flipped over and was then hit by an 18-wheeler, resulting in a devastating accident.

Yet, key details—such as the official crash report, specifics about the accident, and statements from authorities—remain unclear, leading to mounting speculation and unanswered questions.

Additionally, Angie Stone was forced to debunk rumors of her death in 2023 after a viral video showed her looking frail, seated in a wheelchair with a headscarf wrapped around her head. The footage quickly spread across social media, sparking false reports that she had passed away.

Now, many are questioning who started these rumors—especially given her ongoing battle with Universal Music Group (UMG). In an effort to tell her side of the story, Angie began documenting her experiences on video. About six months ago, she launched a YouTube series exposing secrets about her career, personal struggles, and the music industry.

One of the most shocking revelations involved her past relationship with soul singer D’Angelo, with whom she shared a four-year relationship and a child, despite him being nearly 12 years her junior.

In her first video, titled "Angie Stone Secret Reveal Series Part 1," she openly admitted that their relationship had negatively impacted both of their careers, ultimately leading to their breakup. The video’s description read:
"Listen as I discuss my secret(s) reveal during my 50 years in the music industry."

At the time of her passing, Angie was signed to SRG/ILS, an independent label that provides services to artists outside the major-label system. However, in an unexpected twist, SRG/ILS was also a partner of UMG—the very label she had been at odds with.

As the investigation continues, fans and the public seek clarity on what really happened that night. Stay tuned for further updates as we uncover more details surrounding this heartbreaking event.
