Jewell, the famed singer on so many Death Row Records hits in the 1990s, died last week after an ongoing health battle. The news shocked the public, but in a recently published video from months prior, the singer born Jewell Caples shares that she knows she's terminally ill. In an interview with Art Of Dialogue originally conducted in 2021, the former Death Row songbird explains that she knows she has very little time left and wants to leave more of a legacy behind.

"The doctor gave me six months to live," she explains. "So, her and...my son, never heard it. So that's why I sped up the album."

Jewell sang on prominent Death Row albums like All Eyez On Me, Doggystyle, the Above The Rim soundtrack and The Chronic, as well as scoring her own hit single with 1994's "Woman To Woman." In the interview with Art, she tells him that she plans to do a "final documentary," and reiterates that "it's not going to be long."

"But I beat the odds," Jewell explains. "Because 2019 was my first diagnosis. And I have all of the paperwork to substantiate the longevity of my life. I died at Wal-Mart and they brought me back to life." She shares that an E.M.T. named Javier "saved my life" during that incident. She also admits that her family doesn't know about her diagnosis.

Caples died at age 53 on May 6, 2022
