Former Bad Boy Records rapper Black Rob recently found himself in another precarious medical situation. Six years after suffering a series of strokes, the “Whoa!” rapper was back in the hospital earlier this month, sparking concern among his fans and peers alike. Although he’s since been released, a GoFundMe has been erected in Black Rob’s name to hopefully provide a little financial relief and get him back on his feet.
According to an Instagram post from fellow ex-Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry, Black Rob is currently on dialysis, which is usually the result of kidney failure. Curry also noted Bad Boy founder Diddy, who’s been under heavy scrutiny for his perceived inaction to help Black Rob, has been attempting to get in touch.
“Puffy, we need your help and you are reaching out,” Curry says in the clip. “You’re trying to help. We’re not trying to say he’s not. He’s really trying to help.”
In another Instagram video, Mark Curry thanked everyone for their support, then adding, “Also know that it’s not a sympathy case or nothing like that; he just needs that support, that love, that aid to get through during these hard times, cause you can imagine what it’s like going through dialysis and stuff and have to worry about where you’re going to put your head.”

Shortly after Black Rob was discharged from the hospital, he revealed he was in dire straits and essentially homeless.
“Oh man, I’ve been dealing with this for five years,” he said in another IG video. “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. It’s hard, you know what I’m saying?
“I don’t know what the people want to do, what the people going to say. I need some rest, man. Really, man. I need some rest. My side is killing me. Oh shit. I don’t want to talk about it no more.”
Black Rob spoke to Sway In The Morning about his health in 2015 as he was promoting his last album Genuine Article.
“I had high blood pressure,” Rob explained at the time. “Being that I have that, that takes a lot out of a brother. Going on tour, you don’t even know. This is a real serious… I had a stroke. Yea, I had a stroke… and ummm, I got over that. “It’s been high blood pressure and trying to stay on top of this thing.
“Being on top, it’s hard. I got over it. After [the stroke], I was in the wind. I came out of it. It’s hard, but I can do it. I had to change my health regimen and how I eat. That’s it. I’m exercising and trying to keep it up. I don’t drink no more. That right there was telling me that I had to stop. Every time I come out, I drink. I just got tired of it. Now, I’m back. I’m working against that and trying to be the best thing I can be. It’s hard.”

Ok, I’ll help you out but you know what I’m going need you to do for me after this is all done.. right?
Diddy bout to slide in from behind again and take advantage of his situation for publicity as usual.
no home? maybe an apartment? go to the local social welfare office brother.
Why does every article about Pdiddy always have a bunch of comments about him sodomizing or getting sodomized by other men? Is there evidence of him being a sodomite?
Look up Christopher Williams getting caught sucking off Diddy. Also look up any interviews with all his former bodyguards about Diddy’s nightclub adventures. Everyone in the industry already know he is bisexual. Styles p threw a chair at him and wanted off of Bad Boy Records after an unnamed incident involving just him and Diddy (Jadakiss and Sheek Loch we’re there, they walked in at the tail end when the chair is thrown) There’s much more to Ma$e being upset about his master’s and royalties, he and Diddy might have been a little bit too close. Hence the reason why he has so much intense hatred for him now.
street credibility flies out the window.
Haven’t you wonder where all the gay adlibs and punchlines that Biggie threw in his freestyles and songs every now and then came from… Diddy kept telling him to add them in there as jokes but really it was cuz Diddy gets off on that crap.
Haven’t you noticed how he’s never smiling in hardly any pictures when he’s surrounded by women… only when it’s all dudes…then he’s all smiles or he’s got his mouth open like he’s imagining the other dude’s dick in his mouth. He’s always in clubs with mostly guys no girls. When he is with a girl is mainly for her to serve as his beard (fake girlfriend for gay dudes) so the media doesn’t harass him too much. He’s always wearing tight close and fruity colors. Obsessed with control and power/positioning… take it however you want it.
Fellas, I know we enjoy being comical, and think it’s a joke because it’s not us. Do as you please, but if you ever get in a situation, or have a loved one in a similar situation, please joke the same way.
Damn nobody rocking w Diddy nemore?
The LGBTQ Community is tho lol
Like dmx would say “ Diddy Did It”
