'Hit Em Up Style' Singer Blu Cantrell Taken In For Psychiatric Evaluation After Running Through Streets Screaming She Was Poisoned

Blu Cantrell melted down Wednesday, September 3. The singer was spotted running through a neighborhood in Santa Monica, California, screaming that she had been given poisonous gas by someone, according to TMZ.



The incident happened at 2 in the morning and prompted a 911 call by a witness. When police arrived Blu, real name Tiffany Cobb, continued to act strangely. She asked if they knew who she was and referred to herself as a "one hit wonder."







Cops took her to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Her current condition is unknown.



The 38-year old singer burst onto the music scene in 2001 with her debut album, So Blu, led by the hit single "Hit Em Up Style (Oops)."







Blu was unable to duplicate that success on her 2003 album, Bittersweet. She has been M.I.A. from the music scene for some time.
