Rising rap star M-Bone has died after he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting on Sunday.
The Cali Swag District rapper, real name Montae Talbert, was standing next to his car outside a store in Inglewood, California when shots were fired from a passing vehicle, according to TMZ.com.
The 22 year old was taken to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.
Cali Swag District, who had a hit last year with Teach Me How to Dougie, are due to release their debut album later this year.
No further details on Talbert's death were available as WENN went to press.
M-Bone's girlfriend -- who lived with him for more than a year -- says a man living in their apartment complex was obsessed with the rapid rise of Cali Swag, and overtly hostile to M-Bone -- aka, Mante Talbert.
The girlfriend -- who is scared and does not want her name used -- confirms M-Bone was in a Twitter war with the jealous man, which we previously reported. We're told the jealous man made threats of violence.
The girlfriend tells us ... on Sunday ... she picked M-Bone up at the airport at 12:15PM and took him back to their apartment. Later that night, at around 10PM, M-Bone took her car and said he was going to the studio to record.
She tells us soon after she got a call from another member of Cali Swag with the devastating news her boyfriend had been shot.
As we first reported, the gunman fired shots as M-Bone stood near his girlfriend's car which was parked outside an Inglewood, CA liquor store. The shooter drove a short distance, then made a U-turn and came back, presumably to see if he had hit his target.
