Black Rob, who once worked through P. Diddy’s record label, passed away earlier this month and the news was clearly a sad shock in the world of Hip-Hop.
It was later also reported that the 51 year old suffered from major financial crisis, leaving him nearly homeless by the end of his life.
Soon after the news of his demise broke out, fellow rapper and ole’ friend Diddy came forward to help the deceased’s loved ones pay for his funeral expesnses.
While the act was appreciated by many online, Black Rob’s manager has some words to say to Diddy, on it.
Upon hearing Diddy’s offer to help, Rob’s manager Kal Dawson stated the following during his appearance on Murder Master Music Show:
“Through somebody else that was affiliated with Rob, Diddy reached out and was gonna do something for Rob, this is when the video first went up when he was in the hospital,” he said around the interview’s four-minute mark. “People dragging their feet and nothing got done. So now you gonna pay for his funeral, he dead and gone now! Everybody wanna do something for you when you are dead and gone!”
He further added:
“You can’t tell people what to do with their money, but a lot of people that were in position to help but they didn’t and it was too late because he passed away Saturday, a week after DMX.”

Sad to know how things end-up sometimes, when fame and fortune comes to an end.
RIP Black Rob
