An investigation into the incident is ongoing, with no arrests made so far.
Police are asking any witnesses to the crash to come forward.Nicki hasn’t spoken about her dad’s death yet. There are shots of them together embracing over the years, so they obviously had a decent relationship and saw each other from time to time. It’s unclear what Nicki’s relationship with her dad was currently.
A rep for Nicki confirmed her dad’s death but did not have further comment at this time.
Robert was just 64
