Former Bad Boy Records artist Black Rob passed away in an Atlanta hospital on Saturday at the age of 51 after suffering a series of strokes and a kidney failure.
The death feels particularly crushing considering DMX passed away just a week ago and found Black Rob offering his condolences from a hospital bed, causing concern among his fans.
In another Instagram video, Black Rob talked about what he was going through, explaining, “Oh man, I’ve been dealing with this for five years. Four strokes … I don’t know what to tell you man. I don’t got no house to live in — except maybe an apartment. Me and my man be trying to get together," he said.
Fellow rapper Mark Curry Mark Curry said Bad Boy Records founder P. Diddy had reached out to Black Rob — despite people assuming he was leaving Black Rob to struggle.
“Puffy, we need your help and you are reaching out,” Curry said at the time. “You’re trying to help. We’re not trying to say he’s not. He’s really trying to help.”
It is noteworthy that Diddy's net worth is $740 million, and fans accuse him for exploiting artists and leaving them without help when they need it.
Black Rob was sentenced to over seven years in prison in 2006 after failing to appear in court for the possession of more than $6,000 worth of jewelry stolen in a hotel. He was released from prison in May 2010.
The rapper, who managed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 with his 2000 hit single "Whoa!", was the father of four: Kayli, Rianna, Diamond, and Million.
