John Forte's death has reopened one of hip-hop's most haunting unfinished stories. The Grammy-nominated Fugees rapper and producer, once tipped for lasting greatness, was found dead at his home in Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard, on 12 January 2026, aged 50.
Forte, a pivotal architect of The Fugees' diamond-selling album 'The Score', was discovered unresponsive on Monday afternoon by a neighbour.
