Issa Rae was among the many public figures to offer their condolences. She commented: “I know she was so proud of you. Sending you love and wishing her eternal peace. [heart emoji]”
Missy Elliot also offered her best wishes and shared a memory from back when Sullivan was a child, writing: “Ms Pam always had your back even when you didn’t understand your vocal gift your mom did! From the moment I walked out the studio she waited to tell me about her little daughter who could sing and she was by your side always as she will continue to be in spirit [dove emoji] Rest Easy Ms Pam you will forever be a GEM [heart emoji].”
Pam Sullivan, who was backup singer for Philadelphia International Records, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Her official cause of death, however, hasn’t yet been revealed.
During an interview with the PEOPLE Every Day podcast last year, the 36-year-old discussed her mother’s condition and how it influenced their relationship.

“We’ve definitely gotten closer,” she said. “Obviously, you appreciate people more if you even think that you could lose them, but I’ve been able to reciprocate the love and support that she’s given me all my life back to her. And I’m so fulfilled doing that.”
Shed added: “[There’s] a difference than before the diagnosis, where maybe I might be a little irritated to hear mom’s advice, but now I want to hear it. I want to be with her as much as possible.”
