Veteran Promotor, Van Silk expressed his mournful feelings after learning about the demise. In a statement to AllHipHop, he said, “I thought it was from her kidney dialysis which she was going through, but it was a bad vehicle accident with 9 people in the Sprinter van coming from a show in Alabama heading back to Atlanta.” Van Silk added, “Angie will be missed especially by me because we will either text or call each other in the morning.”

Stone was one of the loved members of the Hip-hop community, while her group, The Sequence, achieved the crown of being the first all-female group signed to Sugar Hills Record.
