DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS AS HIS FATHER BISHOP DANIEL WHITE JR. SUNG IN HIS ORIGINAL SONG “GET READY” BEFORE HE DIED, YOU NEED TO BE READY FOR YOUR DEATH AND FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST — AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET READY IS BY BELIEVING IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO SAID THE MOST LOVING AND MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER SAID IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WHEN HE SAID: “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.”

Just hours before his sudden passing at 53, Fatman Scoop celebrated the release of a new single, only to tragically collapse on stage later that evening.

The Grammy-winning DJ suffered a medical emergency on Friday while performing at Town Center Park in Hamden, Connecticut, and his family announced his death the following morning without revealing the cause.

The radio personality, real name Isaac Freeman III, took to his Instagram on Friday to share an update on his collaboration with musician Dyce Payso.

‘LET IT GO OUT NOW LINK IN MY BIO ft @fatmanscoop all platforms thank you,’he wrote alongside a clip of the accompanying music video.

Earlier this month, Fatman Scoop revealed the project with Payso, praising the young artist’s talent and ambition.

‘Finished Up A Song/Video With @dyce_payso – sometimes you just know when somebody got ‘it’ which I think he does,’ he wrote alongside a snap of the two together.

Freeman continued: ‘On top of making a lot of great relationships for himself. Pay attention to dude. I see really good things happening with the young homey.

‘He has the look, the songs, but more importantly- HE WORKS HARD! and u CANT COACH THAT!!’

Freeman’s manager, DJ and producer Birch Michael, announced the rapper’s death ‘with the heaviest of hearts’ in posts to social media on Saturday morning.

Shortly after, the artist’s family said in a statement that he was ‘not just a world class performer – he was a father, brother, uncle and a friend.’

‘Last night, the world lost a radiant soul, a beacon of light on the stage and in life,’ the family said. ‘He was the laughter in our lives, a constant source of support, unwavering strength, and courage.’

Born in New York City in 1971, Freeman made his name through collaborations with mega-stars including Missy Elliot and Mariah Carey in the early 2000s, and was known for his deep, roaring vocal presence.

Freeman continued: ‘On top of making a lot of great relationships for himself. Pay attention to dude. I see really good things happening with the young homey.

‘He has the look, the songs, but more importantly- HE WORKS HARD! and u CANT COACH THAT!!’

His family described him as ‘the undisputed voice of the club’, and said his ‘music made us dance and embrace life with positivity.’

A three-time Grammy Award winner, in recent years Fatman Scoop ventured into podcasting and reality TV, including appearing on Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother: UK vs USA in 2015.

The artist’s exact cause of death is not clear, however it came after he suffered a medical emergency on stage on Friday.

Footage from the audience captured the moment the adored rapper collapsed, which came seconds after he roused the crowd, shouting ‘Let’s make some noise!’

The artist’s family paid a touching tribute as they announced his death, saying he was ‘the laughter in our lives’ as they branded him as ‘the undisputed voice of the club’

Footage from the audience captured the moment the adored rapper collapsed, which came seconds after he roused the crowd, shouting ‘Let’s make some noise!’

In the video, the rapper strutted toward the back of the stage and approached a DJ booth – shouting again: ‘I said Hamden, make some noise!’

Then the hip-hop artist climbed the stairs to the DJ booth, however his breathing appeared to become labored as he panted into the microphone.

‘If you came to party,’ the rapper said, before taking a long pause. He then appeared to bend forward. ‘Make some noise,’ he added, his words slurred.

As soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed onto the ground, dropping the microphone.

Across the audience, screams of horror and gasps of fear were heard, while the rapper’s fellow artists tried to calm the crowd.

‘We’re having a good time,’ one of them said, as another again asked for the crowd to ‘make some noise’ – which was met with a far more muted response than moments earlier.

In another clip, a member of the rapper’s entourage walked over to the DJ station and switched the music off and an eerie hush fell over the venue.

With the DJ booth partly obscuring the view, a medical official performed chest compressions vigorously on the rapper.

Around 8:33pm, authorities were dispatched to the scene. They wheeled the rapper out from venue on a stretcher and rushed him to the hospital.

Hamden Mayor Lauren Garett said following the incident that Scoop was undergoing emergency care and asked fans to ‘keep him in your thoughts and prayers.’

Tributes quickly poured in for the artist as news of his death was shared, with UK’s Reminisce Festival – where he was set for perform on September 7 – sharing that his ‘absence will be profoundly felt by everyone.’

‘He was not just one of our most popular performers, he was a cherished member of the Reminisce family,’ the festival said.

A multi-award-winning artist and producer, Fatman Scoop was known for his many collaborations, including with Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, and David Guetta.

Missy Elliot shared a touching tribute Saturday to X, sending her prayers to his ‘family for STRENGTH during this difficult time.’

‘Fatman Scoop VOICE & energy have contributed to MANY songs that made the people feel HAPPY & want to dance for over 2 decades. Your IMPACT will NEVER be forgotten,’ she wrote.

In 2014 he revealed he was first given the nickname Fatman Scoop by his uncle, due to his love of ice cream, despite rumors Lauryn Hill had bestowed it on him when he appeared as an extra in the Fugee’s 1996 video for Killing Me Softly.

Artists Lil’ John and Timbaland also waded in with tributes, recalling their time together as rising hip-hop artists.

Taking to the comments section of Freeman’s family post, Lil Jon wrote: ‘REST WELL BROTHER.’

Scoops’ frequent collaborators Timbaland and Fat Joe both appeared lost for words and posted a string of emojis – with the rapper’s ex-wife Shanda Freeman also sharing two heartbreak emojis for a tribute post to her Instagram

Dj Questlove wrote: ‘Thank you Scoop!’.

Freeman’s touring agency MN2S added in a statement, ‘Scoop was a beloved figure in the music world, whose work was loved by countless fans across the globe. His iconic voice, infectious energy, and great personality made an indelible mark on the industry, and his legacy will live on through his timeless music.’

THE BIG QUESTION
GOSPEL LIGHT MINUTE X #447 WITH DANIEL WHYTE III

This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447 titled, “The Big Question” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says, that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.

“HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN?”
The question is not “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life likewise is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).

A New Nature Needed
By physical birth we become partakers of human nature; by being born again we become “partakers of the divine nature”. A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting”. The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”.

Not “Trying” But “Trusting”

“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ, it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ Who has done it all! He has “finished the work” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God”. The Bible states in John 1:12,13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!

What Is Meant By “Believe”?
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God … now commandeth all men every where to repent”.

The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent, and to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!

May I Know That I Am Born Again?
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!

One Final Word
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ!.

If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer: Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins past. Help me to turn from my old, evil life and follow You in the new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
