Published
Wu-Tang Clan cofounder Oliver “Power” Grant died after a “courageous” battle with pancreatic cancer … his family said on Saturday.
In a joint statement given to Rolling Stone, Grant’s family and his rap group revealed his illness — telling the outlet he was a “true fighter until the end.”
Oliver will be remembered as a “global architect of culture” whose legacy will continue on forever.
Wu-Tang Clan announced Grant’s death earlier this week … and popular members like Method Man and GZA jumped on social media to shout out their longtime friend — with the latter even saying the group wouldn’t have succeeded without him.
While Grant wasn’t a performing member of WTC, he helped the group achieve stardom in their early years … helping finance their first single, “Protect Ya Neck.”
He was also an executive producer on “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” … which Rolling Stone ranked as the 27th greatest album ever in 2023.
