WSHH.COM has lost its leader and founder Lee O’Denat, or better known as Q to those who were privileged enough to know him. 

 Sources spoke with TMZ informing them Lee had died, unexpectedly in his sleep Monday night.  As of now a cause of death hasn’t been noted, but with an autopsy his family and friends will know for sure soon.

TMZ Reports:

WorldStarHipHop founder Lee O’Denat — known as “Q” — has died … TMZ has learned.

We’re told Q, the face and CEO of WorldStar, died in his sleep Monday night.

Q founded the premiere hip-hop website in 2005 when he started posting mixtapes, which gradually progressed into a mash-up of hip-hop videos, fight clips and other outrageous camera footage.

An autopsy is scheduled for later Tuesday … although one source tells us Q died of a heart attack.

He was 43.
