Who is Angie Stone’s daughter? All about Diamond Stone

Late American hip-hop and neo-soul singer Angie Stone had a daughter named Diamond Stone, whom he shared with her ex-husband, Rodney Stone. Diamond, 41, is a musician and a mother.

When Angie Stone, 63, died in a fatal car accident in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 1, 2025, her daughter was the first to share the news online. Diamond Stone took to Facebook and wrote with multiple crying emojis:

“My mommy is gone.”

Later, Angie’s representative Deborah R. Champagne confirmed the news with TMZ. As it happened, the Sequence member was returning from a Mardi Gras concert with her bandmates in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van from Atlanta to Alabama when it overturned on Interstate 65.

Unfortunately, while the soul icon and others were trying to exit the vehicle, they got hit by a semi-trailer truck. Angie Stone, who was also a songwriter, rapper, record producer, and actress, was the sole fatality.

Now, seven months later, Angie’s former partner and R&B icon, Michael “D’Angelo” Archer, has died after a prolonged cancer battle in New York City on October 14, 2025. D’Angelo was 51.
