G-funk rapper C-Knight has died.

The musician, who was a member of the Long Beach-based hip hop ensemble The Dove Shack, was 52.

C-Knight, whose legal name is Arnez Blount, was taken off life support on Tuesday after he was hospitalized on Oct. 18 due to complications from diabetes.

The rapper’s father, George Lee Washington Blount Jr., told TMZ that his blood sugar reached dangerous levels and despite receiving dialysis, he suffered a stroke during the treatment and went into cardiac arrest.

According to his father, C-Knight was placed on life support after being resuscitated by doctors but he remained unresponsive and there were no signs of progress.

Still the family remained hopeful and were “praying for a miracle at the time of his death.

The Post has reached out to Blount’s camp for comment.
