The rapper affectionately known to the world as the "overweight lover" was very influential in developing Mary J. Blige's talent. In an interview with BET, Mary shared her own fond memories of the fallen hip hop star. “Heavy was always a mentor for all of us," she said. "He was all of our big brother. He always had a word of encouragement. He really was an angel."
TMZ says Heavy D had just returned from shopping and climbed a set of stairs up to his Beverly Hills home when he started having difficulty breathing. Adam Mills, a designer who was in the area and knew the rapper, found Heavy D leaning against their stair railing. Mills tried to help him as others called 911 around 11:25 a.m. Heavy was reportedly conscious and speaking when help arrived. He died shortly after that, around 1 p.m. on Nov. 8 at a Los Angeles hospital.
