Why this article doesn't cite anything about the little boy that she killed in Honduras?--201.166.56.25 (talk) 03:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because most of these celebrity wikipedia biographies are guarded fiercely by fans who wish to hide facts that could diminish the celebrities even though truth is what gives fuller humanity to people. When in fact, that accident probably played a huge role in her psyche as to wanting to avoid another accident or having anxiety while driving. Reality is much more fuller than wikipedia it seems: "The van was being driven by Lopes' personal assistant, said Greg Adams, public affairs officer for the U.S. embassy. Stephanie Patterson of Atlanta was Lopes' personal assistant until her death Thursday." http://www.seattlepi.com/national/article/Lisa-Lopes-was-involved-in-traffic-fatality-3-1086231.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.91.10.137 (talk) 08:48, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was the same Virchow but I don’t think she was the one who was driving when the boy was killed Mia.HorseGirl (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The entry states that she started rapping at age 14 after hearing Latifah's "Ladies First"? Except she was born in 1971 and "Ladies First" came out in 1989. 138.44.64.30 (talk) 00:10, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's taken from an interview with Lopes, where she said, "When I was 14 I heard the Queen Latifah and Monie Love song 'Ladies First'. I was so moved by that track. They were two of the first ever female rappers and were hugely influential." Maybe the age should be removed if it's wrong, as she listed that song as one of the reasons why she started rapping.

I removed this material that was sourced to youtube video. Is there a RS for this? Malerooster (talk) 21:01, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please only rely on forensic or criminal evidence sources for the case of Lisa’s death. Jellocube27 (talk) 20:03, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Didn’t her father die about 10 years before her? Apparently when Lopes came home to celebrate getting a deal with LaFace Records, she heard that her father died after being shot in a drunken argument. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 17:47, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
