As a lifestyle expert who has had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of music over the years, I am deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Fatman Scoop, a man whose energy and voice brought joy to countless people for over two decades.
Report states that rapper Isaac Freeman III, known by his stage name Fatman Scoop, passed away following an incident where he collapsed during a free performance in Connecticut on Friday evening.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: While rocking the Green & Gold Party in Hamden, Connecticut, I – a New York-born artist – suddenly encountered a medical issue on stage. A video circulating online shows me collapsing behind the decks just moments after asking the crowd to get loud. Tragically, later that same day, I was rushed to a local hospital and subsequently pronounced dead.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to reminisce about the remarkable journey of the 53-year-old artist I had the pleasure of knowing, Isaac Freeman III, better known as Fatman Scoop. Over the years, he has been an active player in the music scene, working with legendary artists such as Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, and Ciara to name a few. Let’s delve into the life and career of this iconic figure in hip-hop, Fatman Scoop.
In 2005, Freeman collaborated on the hit song “Lose Control” with Missy Elliott and Ciara. This track reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and even earned a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video.
Missy Elliott shared on X: “For more than two decades, Fatman Scoop’s voice and energy have been instrumental in creating songs that make people feel joyful and want to dance. Our influence is substantial and will always be remembered.”
Additionally, he worked together with Mariah Carey on the hit single “It’s Like That”. His international recognition began in the UK and Ireland through the re-release of “Be Faithful” in 2003, which reached number one. He incorporated pieces from Faith Evans’ “Love Like This” and Chic’s “Cheer (Chic Cheer)” from 1978 into this track.
Apart from being a successful rapper, he also worked together with various celebrities on multiple projects. These collaborations included Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Pitbull, Timbaland, David Guetta, and more. In 2004, he served as a mentor for six British musicians on the UK television show Chancers, and made cameo appearances in the animated series, The Boondocks.
Afterwards, he applied his business talents by opening an ice cream shop of his own. One of his most recent partnerships, just before his passing, was a single entitled “No Popcorn,” set to be released in July 2024 with Tech N9ne. Fatman Scoop’s final releases were the tracks “Let It Go” and “Our House,” both dropping on the same day he fell ill on stage.
