Robert Maraj, 64, was walking in Mineola on Friday when he was hit about six in the afternoon.

“The father of singer‘ Super Bass ’was rushed to a local hospital and appears in critical condition, and then succumbed to his injuries at some point over the weekend, police said.

The rap superstar, who grew up in Queens, had a strained relationship with her father.
