Rufus Lee Cooper III, better known as Young Noble from Tupac Shakur’s legendary hip-hop group Outlawz, is dead at 47.

His death was announced by fellow Outlawz member E.D.I. Mean on Instagram.

“Today I got some of the worst and unexpected news imaginable,” E.D.I. wrote. “My brother and partner for over 30 years took his life this morning.”

He added, “Rest in Power Rufus Young Noble Cooper.”

A Sudden Loss That Shakes Hip-Hop

The announcement has shocked fans around the world. Young Noble had long been considered the heart of Outlawz after Tupac’s death.

Tupac’s official Instagram page, run by his estate, also reposted the message—marking the gravity of the loss.

Young Noble

Born in Sierra Madre, California, Young Noble joined the Outlawz in the 1990s after meeting Tupac Shakur.

The group rose to fame through tracks like “Hit ‘Em Up,” and later carried on Tupac’s legacy after his 1996 death.

“Mental Illness Is a Real Battle”

E.D.I. used the moment to call attention to mental health.

Mental illness is a real battle being fought by so many. CHECK ON YOUR FOLKS!” he wrote in his moving tribute.

There has been no official comment yet from the rest of the Outlawz group or from Young Noble’s family.
