Bun B — as well as the rest of the Texas rap community — is currently in mourning as it’s been revealed that Houston rap legend Big Pokey has died.
The UGK rapper took to Instagram on Sunday (June 18) to confirm the passing of the Sensei rapper (real name Milton Powell). A cause of death is not yet known.
“I wasn’t ready for this,” he wrote alongside a photograph of Big Pokey. “One of the most naturally talented artists in the city. Low key, humble mountain of a man who moved with honor and respect. He was easy to love and hard to hate.
“He’d pull up, do what he had to do and head home. One of the pillars of our city. If heart of gold was a person. Iconic member of the SUC. There will never be another and will be missed dearly. We love and honor you Sensei. Rest in heaven.”
The news comes after a video started doing the rounds online early Sunday morning which showed Big Pokey passing out on stage mid-performance in Beaumont, Texas.
