Jay-Z Puzzled Over Nephews 2005 Death

Rapper Jay-Z says he is still puzzled by the death of his nephew in 2005.

The star says he can't understand what lesson he is supposed to learn from the tragedy.

The 99 Problems hitmaker insists all the hardship he has faced in his life has helped him become a better man, but he still can't figure out why 18-year-old Colleek Luckie had to die in a 2005 car accident behind the wheel of a $30,000 Chrysler the rapper bought him as a graduation gift.

He says, "I really can't figure out that day. He was a young kid, a beautiful kid, just the most beautiful, respectful kid... I believe that things happen for a reason but I can't apply that against anything."
