Rihanna and former Destiny's Child star, Kelly Rowland, were helping Amena find a bone marrow transplant. Rihanna spent a lot of time with Amena over the past year, all in an effort to help her #1 fan get through life with Leukemia.
Here’s the message that was posted on Jasmina’s Twitter account just a few hours ago:
At 10:55 on January 27th, after a long battle, Jasmina lost her fight with leukemia. Thanks for all of your support.
Back in November, Amena surprised Rihanna on the day of her album release at an in-store signing.
“It is with great sadness today that Michelle and I extend our condolences on the passing of Jasmina Anema. Jasmina showed tremendous bravery in the face of adversity, and her ability to stay positive throughout her battle was an inspiration to me and to all those she touched. As the parents of two young girls, our hearts particularly go out to Jasmina’s devoted mother Thea. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and with all who knew and loved Jasmina.”
Amena was diagnosed with leukemia in January of 2009.
R.I.P. Jasmina.
The staff of the Black Urban Times extends their deepest condolences to the Amena Family on the loss of their angel who has gone home to be with the Father.
May God bless you all and bring you peace.
