His fellow label mate, Curry, took it to social media to announce that Black Rob died at the age of 51. Curry shared two videos where he says “I don’t know where to begin this. But I thank everybody for the donations. Rob passed away about an hour ago.” In a second video, Curry said that he was with the rapper when he died. “Rest in peace to my brother. I was there with him. I was there with him.”
Curry added: “Puff, I ain’t talked to Puff in 15 years — we talked today. This is the beginning of a new us. Rob made sure he knew what he had to do before he parted this world to make sure we all alright, and that’s what he did. Bad boy for life, yo.”
