We have tragic news to report from the world of music.
Rob Base — the rapper best known for the iconic party anthem “It Takes Two” — has died following a battle with cancer.
He was 59 years old.
News of Base’s death was confirmed by a statement shared to his official Instagram page.
“Today, we share the heartbreaking news that hip hop legend Rob Base passed away peacefully on May 22, 2026, surrounded by family after a private battle with cancer,” the statement read.
“Rob’s music, energy, and legacy helped shape a generation and brought joy to millions around the world. Beyond the stage, he was a loving father, family man, friend, and creative force whose impact will never be forgotten,” the post continued.
“Thank you for the music, the memories, and the moments that became the soundtrack to our lives.
Base, born Robert Ginyard, rose to fame as one-half of the groundbreaking duo Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, helping bring hip hop into the mainstream with the release of their legendary 1988 hit “It Takes Two.”
The track became an instant cultural phenomenon, and it remains a radio staple nearly four decades later.
Just days before his death, Base had celebrated his 59th birthday.
His biggest hit, released in 1988, “It Takes Two,” blended hip hop and dance music in wildly innovative fashion.
The single climbed the charts and eventually became one of the most sampled tracks of its era.
Base’s longtime musical partner, DJ E-Z Rock, died in 2014 from complications related to diabetes.
The pair had met as children growing up in Harlem and built a friendship that eventually turned into one of rap’s most memorable collaborations.
Rob never fully stepped away from the spotlight, continuing to perform on nostalgia tours and make appearances for longtime fans.
Our thoughts go out to Rob Base’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

We have tragic news to report from the world of television today.
Grizz Chapman — the actor who played Tracy Morgan’s lovable bodyguard on 30 Rock — passed away on Friday at the age of 52.
Now, new information has emerged about Chapman’s harrowing final days.
The news comes courtesy of Chapman’s manager, Renee Glicker, who has shed light on the severe health struggles the actor had reportedly been battling behind the scenes for years.
According to TMZ, Chapman had been dealing with a number of serious medical issues and was, in the words of his manager, was “just struggling to stay alive.”
Glicker told the outlet that the actor had received a kidney transplant back in July 2010, but later needed a second transplant.
Finding a match reportedly proved especially difficult because of Chapman’s extraordinary size — the actor stood nearly seven feet tall.
At this point, Chapman’s exact cause of death has not been publicly confirmed.
However, his manager reportedly believes there were likely multiple contributing factors tied to his declining health.
News of Chapman’s death first surfaced Thursday, when his longtime representative confirmed that the actor had passed away, leaving behind a grieving wife and two children.
His cousin, Harlem Globetrotter Donte “Hammer” Harrison, later shared that Chapman had spent years battling illness and dialysis treatments and died peacefully in his sleep.
For sitcom fans, Chapman will always be remembered as one-half of Tracy Jordan’s unforgettable entourage alongside Dot Com on 30 Rock, where he appeared in dozens of episodes during the show’s acclaimed seven-season run.
His chemistry with Tracy Morgan helped turn a supporting role into a fan favorite.
Beyond 30 Rock, Chapman also appeared in shows such as Blue Bloods, The Blacklist, and The Good Fight, while also creating his own YouTube sketch series, Grizz Chroniclez.
Our thoughts go out Chapman’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
