BBG News

As a fan who had the privilege of witnessing FatMan Scoop‘s electrifying performances at various events, I am deeply saddened by his untimely demise. His energy was infectious, his music was pulsating, and his presence was unforgettable. From the Clippers games to Coachella, he knew how to ignite the crowd like no other.

On Friday, it was reported that FatMan Scoop, the acclaimed DJ and hype-man known for igniting excitement wherever he performed, whether it was at a Los Angeles Clippers game or the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, has sadly passed away according to his family’s statement.

On a Friday evening at Town Center Park in Hamden, Connecticut, the artist formerly known as Isaac Freeman was seen collapsing during a performance on social media videos. Mayor Lauren Garrett reported that the audience and paramedics present tried to provide lifesaving aid, but unfortunately, they were unable to revive him.

On Saturday morning, the Freeman family shared a message on Scoop’s Instagram for their fans, saying, “Last night, we mourn the loss of a shining spirit.”

As a movie critic, I’d express my heartfelt sentiments thusly: “His melodies moved us to dance and inspired us to seize life with unbridled enthusiasm. His zest for living was contagious, and the kindness he showered upon all will be profoundly missed but eternally cherished. Beyond being a musical genius, Scoop was a devoted father, cherished brother, loving uncle, and a friend whose presence enriched our lives.”

Directly after the family’s announcement, an outpouring of tributes came from various social media platforms, including messages from Missy Elliott and Chuck D. Their sentiments were, “a truly remarkable individual.”

In the year 2006, Scoop received his Grammy award during the ceremony. His win was in the category of Best Short Form Music Video for “Lose Control.”
