Elliott, who tapped the “Be Faithful” rapper to feature on her 2005 hit “Lose Control” alongside Ciara, tweeted, “Prayers for Fatman Scoop 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 is HUGE & will be NEVER be forgotten.”
Song collaborator Ciara shared a clip of Fatman Scoop laying down his part in the studio while Ciara dances along; it’s spliced together with the original “Lose Control” video. “Rest Easy at @FatmanScoop! You were truly one of the best voices in hip-hop! I’m so glad I got to experience your greatness! We will all miss you greatly,” Ciara captioned the post.
