Aww shit.. nooo... I still listen to Heavy D a lot. Been a fan since Blue Funk and eventually got into his older stuff.
R.I.P. Heavy D.
Damn, RIP.
This is shockingly tragic news.
As others have stated already, he looked to be in great condition during that BET Hip-Hop Awards performance.
It seemed like he hadn't lost a step up on the stage, like he was as dope as ever.
There's kind of a parallel with Michael Jackson's death here if you think about it.
Seeing performance footage of the artist on stage seemingly heatlhy, only to be blindsided by news of an untimely passing just a few weeks later.
Did this thought go through anyone else's mind?
R.i.p.
