GOODIE MOB rapper KHUJO has lost his right leg following a serious car accident earlier this week.

The star, a friend and contemporary of OutKast , was leaving his hometown recording studio in the early hours of Tuesday (June 25) when the accident occurred. Unconfirmed reports suggest the rapper fell asleep at the wheel. Khujo's leg was amputated below the knee, Billboard reports.

OutKast member Big Boi dedicated the Best Group award they picked up at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Tuesday night to the rapper. Last year, in the most recent of frequent collaborations, OutKast and Goodie Mob recorded an album under the umbrella name the Dungeon Family.
