Legendary Biz Markie’s name is trending on social media, because there were a lot of rumors circulating that the New York Hip Hop artist passed away,
however rapper is still alive.
The news of Biz Markie’s passing is not true.
Biz is still under medical care, surrounded by professionals who are working hard
to provide the best health care possible. Biz’s wife and family are touched by the outpouring of love and admiration from his friends, peers, and fans alike.
In addition, journalist Roland Martin confirmed that reports of Biz Markie are untrue.
The news show host also called out the Revolt network and its founder Sean “Diddy” Combs for running an article claiming the “Just a Friend” hitmaker was deceased.
The story has since been taken down from the Revolt website.
“Folks, @BizMarkie has NOT died. I have been in contact with sources who are texting and talking to his wife. My source talked to Biz today.
Per his wife, Biz has not passed away. Please stop responding to non-credible sources.
This hurts the family, friends, and fans,” tweeted Roland Martin.
Biz Markie was hospitalized in 2020 due to complications from Type II Diabetes.
He also reportedly suffered a stroke that same year. According to HipHopDX, the stroke made it difficult for Markie to communicate,
and he was sent to a rehab facility in the Washington, DC area.
WHY TV wishes legendary rapper to stay strong and also wish him healthy recovery and those fake news really hurts his familly and friends.
Biz is alive and we have to pray for him.
