Fans and colleagues are still in shock about the recent death of Christopher “Big Black” Boykin.
The Rob & Big star reportedly died of a heart attack earlier this week, causing an outpouring of love and condolences to the former bodyguard’s family. Boykin’s ex-wife, Shannon Boykin, took to Twitter after news of his passing to express her sorrow over Big’s death. She explained how difficult this time is for her and Big’s nine-year-old daughter, Isis, tweeting:
Shannon, who refers to herself as Big’s ex-wife, married the reality star in 2008 and welcomed daughter Isis that same year. Christopher actually left MTV when Shannon found out she was pregnant, and focused on raising a family with her. Although Shannon says she’s Boykin’s former wife, no word on if the couple is actually divorced.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Boykin family.
