One of Hip Hop’s most enigmatic MCs, DOOM (also known as MF Doom), took to social media on Monday (December 18) to announce some crushing news. According to his Facebook post, the Operation: Doomsday rapper’s 14-year-old son, King Malachi Ezekiel Dumile, has passed away.
“KING MALACHI EZEKIEL DUMILE 2/22/03 – 12/18/17,” he wrote. “THE GREATEST SON ONE COULD ASK FOR. SAFE JOURNEY AND MAY ALL OUR ANCESTORS GREET YOU WITH OPEN ARMS. ONE OF OUR GREATEST INSPIRATIONS. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE YOUR PARENTS. LOVE YOU MALI.”
Details surrounding the teenager’s death are scarce.
DOOM, who routinely flies under the radar, has been active this year. In addition to his collaboration with Westside Gunn, WestsideDOOM, he’s also working on an upcoming project with Brooklyn rapper Bishop Nehru — Elevators: Act I & II. This marks the second time the two will work together. Their last joint effort was 2014’s NehruvianDoom.
Drake also sparked rumors of a possible collaboration with Metal Fingers earlier this month but nothing has been confirmed outside of the 6 God’s cryptic “Accordian” quote.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to DOOM’s family.
Can’t Even Begin To Imagine The Pain. God Bless You and Your Family DOOM.
Not only losing his son, but his brother SubRoc from KMD at an early age. smh
R.I.P. to all the fallen soldiers.
True. Condolences out to him, mother of his child, family and friends.
:/ weak
Wow. This guy needs a break man. His brothers passing among other things sent him into this insane character we know and now he has to go through another tragic loss. Fuckin poor family, hope he stays strong. That’s sad af
Kill yourself, but die slow. You and that piece of shit that gave you props for sayin’ this.
Well, delete this comment too now, since this was a reply to that racist comment which has been deleted. There’s no context anymore. Thnx.
Im trying to figure out why HHDX would allow the racist comments on hear and not remove them, but remove intelligent comments ?
Exactly. It seems the more polarizing the comments, the better. But as soon as someone more intelligent rebukes those comments, there’s a big chance his/her post will be removed.
Everyone, even white people are better than this tacist piece of trash.
so is this guy a new rapper or what? i didn’t hear about him until drake posted some shit about him on instagram and now everyone’s talking about him. we all know if drake co-signs an upcoming rapper, they become stars.
troll harder
DOOM has been about before Aubrey was making TV shows, and before “Lil Boat” was a nut in his dads sack
Haha you never heard of MF Doom before drake? You know nothing about hip hop. Doom has been around for years. He isn’t new because of drake. You are so wack. Continue to listen to your mainstream drake and the young money crew because you don’t deserve to listen to anyone else. Get off drakes dick you lame.
Perhaps this is why that Adult Swim singles stuff got pulled. Rest In Power young god and peace to the Dumile family.
Kyle knows nothing, he just drumming up fake news. DOOM wouldn’t work with some pop boy like Drake, DOOM isn’t a popstar like drake, he makes music for fans, not money
Very, very sad. Condolences to DOOM.
Very sad and tragic news and Big Daddy Kane lost a teenage son as well but it hasn’t been reported yet.
Devastating.
this guy’s only getting attention because drake mentioned him. tired of no names in the news
Fuck outta here…Drake is teh ghey…
HAHAHA WHAT??? SURELY YOU JEST….
Big up sandbox respect to DOOM. may Lil DOOM find giant place in Paradise next to the legend Subrock. Big hug from Brazil fam. We love you.
God bless the great MF DOOM and his family sad news to hear for anyone with kids as I have a 11 year old daughter and would not be able to fathom that kind of tragedy.
