Wright learned that he had full-blown AIDS in March of ‘95 when checking into a medical center for what he believed was bronchitis. He then died within the same month. Eric Lynn Wright (aka Eazy-E) was best known as one of the members of rap super group NWA that also consisted of Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Ice Cube and DJ Yella (though Cube left the group before its demise).
There was a well publicized “beef” between Eazy and Dre once the group broke up, though they made up with each other shortly before Eazy died.
