🕊🕊🕊

Never Forgotten🕊️: John Forté, the Grammy-nominated rapper and producer best known for his work with the Refugee Camp All-Stars and contributions to the Fugees’ classic album ‘The Score,’ has passed away at age 50.

Forté was found unresponsive at his home in Chilmark, Massachusetts, on January 12, 2026. Authorities have not released a cause of death, and no foul play is suspected.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Forté played a key role in shaping 1990s Hip-Hop, earning recognition for his songwriting, production, and unique artistic vision. After serving time on federal drug charges in the early 2000s, his sentence was commuted in 2008, allowing him to rebuild his career and continue creating music.

Wyclef Jean paid tribute, calling Forté his “Refugee brother” and honoring his lasting impact on the culture.

Forté is survived by his wife and two children. His influence on Hip-Hop and music will be remembered for generations. RIP, John Forté.🙏🏿

An artist with a voice that shines on. One we'll always love. 🌟

Whitney Houston's unparalleled talent and records have made her one of the most celebrated artists in music history. Born into a dynasty of legendary singers, Houston rose from performing in New York clubs to signing with Clive Davis in 1983 and releasing her groundbreaking self-titled debut album in 1985, which became the best-selling debut album by a solo artist.

Today, the Whitney E. Houston Legacy Foundation advances her lifelong commitment to uplifting youth, ensuring that her voice, spirit and influence resonate for generations to follow.

On January 31, 2026 we are honoring this year's Special Merit Award recipients, including Whitney Houston with a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award. 🏆 Learn more about the Special Merit Awards at the link below.
