Oliver “Power” Grant’s noticeable weight loss in recent circulating photos sparked rumors that he looked sick before passing, but the true cause of his death is still unknown and undisclosed.
A founding member of the Wu Tang Clan, Oliver Power Grant, passed away on February 23, 2026, at the age of 52 years.
Since the news came as a surprise to many in the music world, people started asking if he had been going through any illness.
Amid the chaos, Method Man, one of his band members, shared a photo of the two of them and wrote, “Paradise my Brother safe Travels!! 💔💔🤬 #pookie #power Bruh I am not ok ..“
In the photo, he appeared to have lost more weight than fans remembered from years earlier.
One commented on the post, writing:
Damn i knew it he started loosing mad weight. Peace to my brother power may he rest in peace 👐🕊
Some wondered quietly if health troubles had been going on without public notice.
On the popular forum Reddit, fans gathered in a thread to talk about the loss. One comment said he looked sick, unfortunately, like he was skinnier than twenty years ago.
Another person noted he looked very thin in the recent picture with Method Man.
These observations spread among those who had followed the group closely for a long time. However, no official word came from his family or the clan to confirm any illness.
So far, the exact cause of his passing hasn’t been shared online.
The Wu Tang Clan put out a message on social media that read rest in power and included clips of him from old interviews.
Besides Method Man, other members of the group added their own words of goodbye.
Raekwon posted a picture from the past and spoke of how they had traveled so many places. Gza explained they could not have built everything without him and that the Wu Tang would never have started without Power.
Others like Masta Killa and U God sent messages of love and peace to the family.
Sadly, his passing came just before the Wu-Tang Clan earned a nomination for the 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
