The director is best known for ’Boyz N the Hood,’ the classic that made him the first black filmmaker nominated for a Best Director Oscar.
Last week it was reported that John Singleton — director of the seminal Boyz N The Hood, which made him the first black filmmaker ever nominated for the Best Director Oscar — had suffered a major stroke. Now, as per The Hollywood Reporter, Singleton has slipped into a coma.
According to THR, the news came when Singleton’s mother, Sheila Ward, filed an application to become her son’s temporary conservator, so she could oversee his health and finances while he’s unconscious.
