His wife Jasmine revealed his passing on his Instagram page: “The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for,” 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.”
She did not mention why it took so long for his family to disclose the information, but the uncertainty only adds to the legacy of MF DOOM. The emcee was known for being unknown.
His real name was Daniel Dumile and he was born in London, but moved to Long Island at a young age. He got his start in Hip Hop by being a part of an early 90’s group called KMD. Some people might be familiar with his group from their affiliation with the group 3rd Bass and their singles “Who Me” and “Peachfuzz.”
