Isaac Freeman III, better known under his Fatman Scoop moniker, was a hip-hop artist best known for the chart hit "Be Faithful." Freeman received the nickname after appearing as an ice cream man in the Fugees' video "Killing Me Softly." Stylistically, Fatman Scoop was both artist and hype man: loud, repetitive, boisterous. His first appearance as a solo artist was on Timbaland & Magoo's "Drop" in 2001, and in 2003 he topped charts with the club hit "Be Faithful”. Over the following years, his big-name collaborations were his biggest successes, including Mariah Carey’s “It’s Like That and Missy Elliott's Grammy Award-winning "Lose Control” alongside mid-2010s features on tracks by Skrillex and LL Cool J. Coinciding with his music career, Scoop was also a presenter on the popular New York radio station WQHT and created a regular podcast entitled Man and Wife TV with his wife Shanda Freeman on which the couple talked openly about their relationship. Scoop had a brief appearance on British reality TV in 2015, and was featured on a string of singles, including Hardwell and W&W's "Don't Stop the Madness" (2015), Charlotte Devaney's "Bass Dunk" with Lady Leshurr (2016), and MAKJ and Michael Sparks' "Space Jam" (2017). He passed away in August 2024, age 56.
