Jay-Z has lost his nephew — whom he referred to as his best friend and son — in a car accident.

AllHipHop.com reports Colleek D. Luckie, 18, was in the passenger seat of his Chrysler 300 when it drifted across the centreline of a Pennsylvania highway and collided head-on with a tractor-trailer. The car, driven by a friend of Luckie's, then struck a telephone pole and continued through a field for another 300 feet or so. Luckie was killed, despite wearing a seat belt. The driver sustained minor injuries and was treated at a hospital.

Jay-Z gave the car, worth about $43,400 Canadian, to Luckie as a graduation gift. The rapper often wrote about his sister's children in his songs, most notably in "Anything" ("Dear nephews, I’m writing this with no pen or a pad/And I’m signing it, ya uncle, ya best friend, and ya dad/Don't look back if you fall and you’re feeling bad/I’m right there from your cut to when you peelin' the scab") and "Heart Of The City (Ain't No Love)," which sees the rapper refusing to get into a fight because, "I got nephews to look after."

Condoleces to the family.
