Oliver “Power” Grant died on Feb. 23 following “a courageous and hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer,” his family and the Wu-Tang Clan revealed.
“A true fighter until the end, he was surrounded by his mother, his children, his family and his closest friends,” they said in a statement shared on Instagram Sunday.
“It was the honor of his life to pour his love, wisdom and brilliance into his family and his community. His impact was singular; there will never be another to take his place,” they wrote.
“Power will always be loved, and his legacy will forever remain,”
The family concluded the statement by announcing that Grant’s wake will take place on March 13 and the funeral is slated to occur the following day in the New York City area. More details will be released “closer to the service dates” as they work to secure venues.
As Page Six previously reported, fellow Wu-Tang member Method Man confirmed Grant’s devastating passing on Instagram last week.
“Paradise my Brother safe Travels!!” the “How High” actor, born Clifford Smith Jr., wrote alongside a photo of the pair. “Bruh I am not ok.”
Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon also paid tribute to Grant on Instagram, writing, “POWER we been everywhere …. now you everywhere !😢🙏🏾 the most high is merciful love you.”
Wu-Tang Clan co-founder GZA also honored the late businessman on social media.
“‘word life, peace to Power and my whole unit.’ We couldn’t have done it without him. Wu wouldn’t have come to fruition without Power. His passing is a profound loss to us all. My deepest condolences to the fam. #olipowergrant,” he wrote on Instagram.
