Rap legend Heavy D, one of the most influential rappers of the ’90s, died earlier today. Heavy D, real name Dwight Arrington Myers, was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today … and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old. We’ve learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy’s Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway. When help arrived, we’re told Heavy D was conscious and speaking, and was transported to a nearby hospital. He died a short time later. Cops are investigating the death, and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play. Police are currently at the home. Here is footage of Hip Hop legend Heavy D performing at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales on October 8. He performed his hit “Jam” with La Toya Jackson.
