Sad news has arrived out of the Rhymesayers Entertainment camp. According to a statement obtained by HipHopDX on Thursday (December 31), MF DOOM has passed away. Known to his countless fans as MetalFace, the elusive MC was famous for his hidden identity, lyrical precision and comic-book persona.
“The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for,” his wife Jasmine wrote. “Thank you for all the things you have shown, taught and given to me, our children and our family. Thank you for teaching me how to forgive beings and give another chance, not to be so quick to judge and write off.
“Thank you for showing how not to be afraid to love and be the best person I could ever be. My world will never be the same without you. Words will never express what you and Malachi mean to me, I love both and adore you always. May THE ALL continue to bless you, our family and the planet.”
DOOM actually died on October 31, but his family chose to wait before making it public. At this time, no cause of death has been revealed. DOOM was 49.
Dem rayciss wypipo done keel dis gud boi who din du nuf fins
My IQ when down by 30 when I read this sentence my guy
I honestly am just done he doesn’t even know what the fuck he’s talking about he didn’t even read anything either he just chose ignorance…
god willing i will see you in hell
MF Doom was so real man. It wasn’t no internet hype or weirdo shit. Dude was from real 1980s NYC part of KMD I met him back then – hard to believe this is true hope this is some kind of publicity stunt
if this is confirmed… shit…. i got into his stuff around halloween. he died so young
Is this even real or are you guys just spreading fake information??????
Oh my my my man….now this caught me waaaaay off guard…
He used to rap with 3rd Bass as well…aka KMD was the name I believe….
shut up, stupid
Why should he shut up? He stated the truth, he did rap in a group called KMD, and did stuff with 3rd Bass
He was part of KMD. Zev Love X was his name.
So uhh.. when’s the #BlackLivesMatter protest?
After your testicles finish descending
Why did anybody even like that dumbass comment
cmon man…give the political shit a rest?
Passed away in October?!?!?!?!? Wth fam!!! Y’all going to go public about an artist we revered and supported, and don’t get me wrong, I understand family privacy but how the hell would you wait this long to inform us, the fans, about his death?!?!? RIP DOOM!
shut the fuck up
A wife has lost a husband and a soul mate and a daughter has lost a father. Yet ‘DOOM fans’ (a cult in itself) are demanding to know why ‘they’ were not informed in October!
Let us separate the man from the myth. His wife and daughter, family and TRUE friends are mourning Daniel Dumile not the ‘MF DOOM’ character/persona.
The MF DOOM legacy still lives through his music and art that he left us. Be blessed that we have that. LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
Rest In Paradise DANIEL DUMILE.
WTF!!! Really..Damn 2020 sucks ass. R.I.P MF Doom
F$&K
What???! Damn…Curls and ALL CAPS on repeat all night!! RIP
Stay off that Oxy, kids..
Take your own advice. You know NOTHING about how he passed and you’re insulting his legacy. GTFOH.
is that normal to keep it secret for two months? I bet we never get the cause of death.
Is it normal to keep it PRIVATE for two monthS? YES.
This is how true family and friends MOURN the death of a husband, a father and a friend.
Cult follower-like ‘DOOM FANS’ can get The Gas Face if they protest their entitlement in this.
‘You’ may or may not get a cause of death but those close to him will, and that’s all that matters in reality.
Rest in paradise DANIEL DUMILE.

Citation Needed.
I can’t accept that Daniel Dumile DOOM-ee-lay;, better known by several stage names, most notably MF Doom, the British-born rapper, songwriter, and record producer was secretly dead for two months. If this is true certainly it’s worth noting for investigation.
Even on New Year’s Eve, 2020 is working. This really is one of the worst years ever
Damn R.I.P. Smh 2020 really is fucked up
Crazy we got the news today and he died on Halloween- the original cat in a mask. Fuck 2020 indeed.
Damn…..R.I.P.
Now at peace with his brother Subroc and Kausin’ Much Damage in Hip Hop Heaven.
Rest In Paradise ZEV LOVE X !
What………….The……………..Fuck?! Rest In Peace.
Sad news to end the year. Feeling for his family & close friends. Though he was often private about his personal life, his creativity, thoughtfulness and humour oozed from his music. Expanded both the lyrical and musical territories of Hip Hop far beyond the pre-conceived “boundaries” of so many! R.I.P. DOOM
I hope it is not true… god damn it, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck no
Just wanted to hop on and say rest in peace to MF Doom. God Bless his family. Fuck all the corny shit we all get caught up in everyday. Life is to be lived.
This is terrible news…2020 can’t end soon enough. Rest in power 1 of the goats
Damn. This one hurts. RIP to the underground GOAT.
Nooooooooo
RIP DOOM. ALWAYS CONSIDERED DOOM & SEAN PRICE THE GOAT UG LYRICISTS. NOW THEY’RE BOTH GONE. THIS ONE HURTS.
Rest in Power to the Goat MF Doom, I’m really saddened by this man
CMON MAN!!!!
I hope he faked his death. I wouldn’t put it past him but if it’s true then RIP
That would mean his wife faked his death with her instagram post. THINK before you touch a keyboard kid.
WTF?
Fuck
R.I.P
NOOOOOOO!!!! GOD WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM FROM US AND LIL PUMP IS ALIVE AND WELL!!?!?!?@?
Nobody really listened to MF DOOM
Nobody really care about your opinion
Don’t shame yourself and your environment
It’s unfortunate that I’ve had sensible, fact based comments on here be deleted meanwhile blatantly ho comments like this somehow pass muster smh
Go Check out his top songs on spotify. I think you would be surprised how many plays he has.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL
WTF man…. I can’t believe this. I was just listening to Ball Skin in the car yesterday thinking about how he’s one of the funniest, most creative emcees of the last 20 years (and yes, he was equally creative as Zev Love X years before that). I was remembering this clip with Mos Def reciting Doom’s verses and bugging out to them. And I was wondering when he might release a new album, how it would be a good time since he’s been off the radar lately, and how hip hop fans would embrace it after this sh**ty year. Damn. This one hits hard. Love since Mr.Hood back in 1991…we’re from the same area and era. RIP MF DOOM, the Metal Face Terrorist.
RIP Doom. One of my favorite MCs
I hope it’s an imposter like the one he hired at a concert
I hope this is what all caps actually meaning he’s lying
You calling his wife a liar? Have some RESPECT before you touch the keyboard kid.
R.I.P. Lord….
Musta been quite halloween party! Don’t do drugs they bad ok
Just…
Dont, okay?
Shut yo pussymouth and sit quiet, while the grown ones grieve.
Only those who knew Daniel Dumile personally can truly grieve and mourn the loss a person they knew in real life.
For the ‘fans’ though? MF DOOM the character/persona/myth is still alive and well because…
LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
Rest in Peace Daniel Dumile.
Seems like someone took that comment personally… fucking crackheads.
He transitioned on Halloween. If that ain’t some goat spiritual shit then I don’t know what is.. Rip.. He prolly on another planet somewhere on stage performing for aliens
Rest easy zev love x aka m.f. doom
His music is really good. I had always heard of him. That in itself is something many rappers really cherish. If you were KNOWN by people by name, even if your music was never spinned, this in itself is a great honor. Peep his music. He was very talented.
Let’s get things nice and sparkling clear. No it’s not normal to keep the death of someone private for 2 months. The public knowing doesn’t keep the family from mourning. We the fans supported his music and we the fans have a right to know. This guy was no bigger than “Prince” or “Michael Jackson” but we knew about their death asap. MF DOOM’s family didn’t hesitate to collect on the publishing and money from cartoon networks that capitalized off his music. So why must they not inform the fans?? I believe that they should have informed the public and press sooner. My Condolences 2 the family.
