She was known as the First Lady of Death Row Records. It was announced that Jewell passed away.
Known as Jewell Caples, the singer passed away at the age of 53.
Her manager, Timothy Beal confirmed her passing in a statement to Entertainment Tonight on Saturday.
"Jewell was a very special woman with a big heart. She had been a guest at my wedding back on February 12th of this year," reads the statement. "We shared many many spiritual conversations. She had transformed her life from hardcore gangsta rap to faith-based gospel singer and songwriter."
Beal said that Jewell was planning on returning back to music. However it could not come to pass.
"We have been working diligently on her comeback, we wish we could have seen her make her big comeback," he stated. "I will personally miss herr a great deal. Goodbye to a great great friend and a very loving woman ... RIP to her, gone but not forgotten. Her spirit will live on through her music for generations to come. Rest in Peace and Power."
Jewell was hospitalized early in March after doctors discovered eight pounds of fluid on her heart, lungs and legs, according to her posting on social media. She said that she almost died. She was discharged from the hospital shortly after a few weeks. She said, "GOD reverse my symptoms extended me some GRACE!"
She added, "And gave me more time with my FAMILY and FRIENDS."

She signed on to Death Row Records in 1992. She would appear on albums with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre before scoring a marginal solo hit with a cover "Woman to Woman," sung by then Shirley Brown.
The best known single she was featured on was "Thug Passion" with Tupac Shakur.
