Rob passed away at the age of 51, after years of struggling with health issues. Before his death, he released a video explaining his recent hardships: “Oh man, I’ve been dealing with this for five years. Four strokes … I don’t know what to tell you man. Shit is crazy. This shit is hard. I don’t got no house to live in — except maybe an apartment. Me and my man be trying to get together. I’m telling you man, this shit is strange.”
