John Forté has reportedly passed away at the age of 50.

According to TMZ, the former Fugees collaborator died suddenly on Monday (Jan. 12) in Chilmark, Mass. The cause of death is unclear at this time. However, TMZ reports local authorities do not suspect foul play.

XXL has reached out to the Chilmark Police Department for comment.

Forté was a member of the Refugee Camp All-Stars and frequently collaborated with The Fugees in the mid-to-late 1990s. In 1997, he was nominated for a Grammy for his production on the group's classic sophomore album, The Score. The same year, he appeared on Wyclef's "We Trying to Stay Alive," which peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Forté would go on to enjoy a solo career, dropping six albums, including Poly Sci in 1998 and I, John in 2002. He put out his most recent project, Vessels, Angels & Ancestors, in 2021.

We honor the life of Claudette Colvin, whose courageous refusal to surrender her seat as a teenager in Montgomery, Alabama was one of several acts of resistance that challenged segregation before the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Ms. Colvin later became one of the plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle, the federal case that reached the Supreme Court and led to the end of bus segregation. Her life reminds us that progress is shaped not only by moments, but by sustained courage and truth. May we honor her legacy and continue the work of justice.

Statement from me and my brother, Martin Luther King IlI, on the Release of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination Files

“We recognize that the release of documents concerning the assassination of our father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., has long been a subject of interest, captivating public curiosity for decades. As the children of Dr. King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, his tragic death has been an intensely personal grief – a devastating loss for his wife, children, and the granddaughter he never met – an absence our family has endured for over 57 years. We ask those who engage with the release of these files to do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our family’s continuing grief.

The release of these files must be viewed within their full historical context. During our father’s lifetime, he was relentlessly targeted by an invasive, predatory, and deeply disturbing disinformation and surveillance campaign orchestrated by J. Edgar Hoover through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The intent of the government’s COINTELPRO campaign was not only to monitor, but to discredit, dismantle and destroy Dr. King’s reputation and the broader American Civil Rights Movement. These actions were not only invasions of privacy, but intentional assaults on the truth – undermining the dignity and freedoms of private citizens who fought for justice, designed to neutralize those who dared to challenge the status quo.

In 1999, our family filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee. The jury unanimously concluded that our father was the victim of a conspiracy involving Loyd Jowers and unnamed co-conspirators, including government agencies as a part of a wider scheme. The verdict also affirmed that someone other than James Earl Ray was the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame. Our family views that verdict as an affirmation of our long-held beliefs. As we review these newly released files, we will assess whether they offer additional insights beyond the findings our family has already accepted.

While we support transparency and historical accountability, we object to any attacks on our father’s legacy or attempts to weaponize it to spread falsehoods. We strongly condemn any attempts to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine our father’s legacy and the significant achievements of the movement. Those who promote the fruit of the FBI’s surveillance will unknowingly align themselves with an ongoing campaign to degrade our father and the Civil Rights Movement.

Instead of repeating the injustices of the past, we encourage the public to continue the work that our father began – building equity, justice, and peace for all. Now more than ever, we must honor his sacrifice by committing ourselves to the realization of his dream – a society rooted in compassion, unity, and equality.

Let us move forward together, inspired by our father’s enduring vision of the Beloved Community – a world made possible when we choose to center love in all that we do. By embracing compassion, mutual respect, and justice, we can transform his dream into our shared reality.”

Please note that the King Family will not be conducting any interviews on this matter at this time.

Veteran R&B and soul singer Angie Stone has tragically passed away at 63 in a tragic car accident. Her career spanned decades, beginning with The Sequence, the first all-female group signed to Sugar Hill Records, where their iconic hit "Monster Jam" helped define early Southern rap. Stone later achieved solo success with her 1999 album Black Diamond, featuring the hit "No More Rain (In This Cloud)," and continued to release influential albums such as Mahogany Sun.

A three-time Grammy nominee, Stone collaborated with music legends like D'Angelo, Prince, and Macy Gray, while also showcasing her acting talents in The Hot Chick and Chicago on Broadway. Her contributions to R&B, soul, and hip hop will continue to inspire. She is survived by her son Michael, daughter Diamond, and two grandchildren.
